I guess you're glad to see I'm finally leaving I know things for you will change now for the good But it's all that I can do to pack my suitcase And walk away from you the way I should And I can't seem to find the voice of reason Everything seems upside down and right side wrong While a part of me is here and won't like leaving The rest of me the best of me is gone And I'm sure no one will wonder where I've gone to But if anyone should ask from time to time Tell them that you finally drove me crazy And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind Well tell 'em I won't be riding I'll be walking 'Cause I don't think a crazy man should drive Anyway the car belongs to you now Along with any part of me that's still alive But there's really not much left you could hold on to And if you did it wouldn't last here anyway It would head to where the rest of me rolled on to So even if I wanted to I couldn't stay And I'm sure no one will wonder where I've gone to But if anyone should ask from time to time Tell them that you finally drove me crazy And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind
