When everything should come out all right, but always turns out so bad
When your one true lover seems right, but them she's really a drag,
Then you're at your job and your boss says you're gonna get fired

That's why you really feel tired.

When you get into your car, and then you get a flat tire,
Insurance says you gotta pay up, or else you're gonna expire
Turning on the news they say, "Here's to our muck and mire,"

It's time to pack your bags

Take me to your legal leader, I'm looking for some new adventure
I've wandered here throughout my travels, I've finally got something to look for
Take me to your legal leader, I'm looking for some new adventure
I've come to stay here in my travels
I've finally got something to live for

When everything's a barnacle and you are being scraped on the floor
And the bill collector, he calls and says you need to pay more
When the neighbors banging their heads on your paper thin walls
That's when you get a bad headache

Get a glass of milk from the fridge, then you find that it's spoiled
Argue with the wife and it's done, she's finally showing you the door
Trying to buy a drink at the bar, but you're all out of bread

It's time to take a trip

Take me to your legal leader, I'm looking for some new adventure
I've wandered here throughout my travels, I've finally got something to look for
Take me to your legal leader, I'm looking for some new adventure
I've come to stay here in my travels
I've finally got something to live for
