I don't expect you'll understand all this,
but I guess you'll have to try
I left in a hurry, did'nt have much time to think
I've gotta make my way or die
I'm sorry that I missed you
but I wanted it this way
I caught the first train down at five
I promise that I'll write you
when I reach the city smoke
I need a job to feel alive
And I know what you're thinking
but it's you I'm fighting for
though my heart bleeds
and it's broken
my spirit will never fall
I don't expect to make it easily
but you know I'll do my best
cos if I stay they'll bend and break me
for the scrap heap like the rest.
