Going Away Songtext
von Lisa Loeb

Going away, I′m going away, I'm going away from home
I′m going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home
But before I leave, there are some things I′m gonna need

Got my soap and towel and toothpaste, my sunscreen and my shoes
My name sewn in my underwear, so no one gets confused
Leave my turtle for my brother, teach him how to feed my snakes
Make sure that my grandmother knows where to send the cupcakes

I′m going going away, I'm going away, I′m going away from home
I'm going away, I′m going away, I'm going away from home
But before I′m through, there are some things I've gotta do

Take the TV from my grampa's room and all his DVD′s
Cause I may not come back so soon, a day or two at least
Take my Aunt Sally′s harmonica that I might learn to play
And the blue tee shirt with the hole in the shoulder
That I wear every day

I'm going away, I′m going away, I'm going away from home
I′m going away, I'm going away, I′m going away from home
But before I leave, there are some things I'm gonna need
Before I'm through, there are some things I′ve gotta do


Got my soap and towel and toothpaste, my sunscreen and my shoes
My name sewn in my underwear, so no one gets confused
Leave my turtle for my brother, teach him how to feed my snakes
My address for my grandmother so that she can mail me cupcakes
The tee shirt and the TV, the harmonica and DVDs
Cause I don′t know what I might need, I might be gone a week
Alarm clock, pet rock, my easy chair
Sweat socks, headphones, stopwatch
Book about Sasquatch, spray paint, compass, a cushion for my rumpus
A ladle, and a radio, and Oreos
And I know, my dad bought me a flashlight
Some ointment for a bug bite, a pen so maybe I'll write home
All right

I′m going away, I'm going away, I′m going away from home
I'm going away, I′m going away, I'm going away from home
But before I leave, there are some things I'm gonna need
Before I′m through, there are some things I′ve gotta do
I'm going away for forever and a day
I′m going away from home
Mmm
Clap, clap!
