| I've got a job back in Texas | |
| Cutting the grass before breakfast | |
| Cleaning the park | |
| I'm there til it's dark | |
| But I'm saving up for a Lexus | |
| I know it's fun | |
| But I've got to leave | |
| Over the sea with my family | |
| Just for a smile | |
| To be there for a while | |
| And the difference is true | |
| I will miss you | |
| That's the way it is | |
| As if it was planned | |
| I've got to let go | |
| If I still want your hand | |
| When I return | |
| I'll buy you a grand | |
| You can play the piano | |
| In your own little band | |
| Stuff what they say | |
| Just thrust it away | |
| It was all said too fast | |
| We must build this to last | |
| I have the blood | |
| I'm a family man | |
| Answer to the question | |
| Ask as long as you can | |
| It's gonna take | |
| A change for the world | |
| Change color and shape | |
| Meets every boy and girl | |
| That's the way it is | |
| As if it was planned | |
| I've got to let go | |
| If I still want your hand |
