Count Me Out

When it's time for me to go
And I hear that whistle blow
I'll be waiting there in line, day or night
Take my hand and lead me down
Lay my burden on the ground
Break these chains and let me stand in the light

Now I know what this game's all about
If that's the way you wanna play, then count me out
Had enough of alibis, empty promises and lies
Trying to find a better life on my own
There's no easy way I know, now the strain begins to show
Still I'm looking for a light to lead me home

Though my heart's still full of doubt
There's no way I'm gonna play, so count me out
Oh, I'm moving out

Been too long here breaking my back
Doing my best to get through
I never thought I could feel this way
But I need to find something new
It's not the money and it's not the gold
I just want some peace of mind
My life is racing like a runaway train
Getting faster all the time
Oh, just count me out

Underneath a golden sky, far away I'm gonna fly
To a place I know is there in my mind
Like a sailor, born to die, with no journey left to try
Throw my spirit in the tide and leave me blind

Now I know what this game's all about
If that's the way you wanna play, then count me out
Oh, just count me out

Yes, I've had enough, baby
Oh, I got my ticket now
I'm moving out, baby
Yeah, just count me out
Oh yeah
