In my mind I'm waving goodbye
In my mind I'm taking a plane outta here
Tell you I love you, buy you a meal
Count the birds on my window sill
And wave goodbye
In my mind I walk in the snow
Watch the rabbits as they go
In caves nearby
Hawk takes off across the sky
I sit on a log and wait for a while
With a deep sigh
You ask me why I take it in
Cause I'm gonna die
In my mind I'm under the lights
Driving along in this highway night
And feeling fine
Locusts in my ear
Takes me back to the days
When I was a kid in the deep south
You ask me why I take it in
Cause I'm gonna die
You ask me why I take it in
In my mind I'm waving goodbye
In my mind I'm taking a plane outta here
