You took the back way in
You can take the back way out
Whatever way that you know
And the people you love are still people you doubt sometimes
And then some
So get to the exit, whichever one’s near
When you hear that bell ringing we all have to clear
We’ll count off outside, make sure everyone’s here
Well Canada’s up and Mexico’s down
The world a plane ride away
You’ve got some money in the bank
Enough to get through the month
And then some
So walk, don’t run. Calmly and careful
And leave all your stuff it won’t go anywhere
“Til you come back to get it and find it’s not burned
We’ll bide our time to save our lives
And douse fires set by starts
And we’ll practice leaving every day
We’ll practice leaving every day
We’ll practice leaving every day
You can’t tell if you’re right by the things that you left
With every change of your heart
You got some friends you don’t like
And those friends you’ve have never guessed
And then some
Well you can head for the border or you can wait by the curb
Or you can keep your mouth shut ‘til directions are heard
Or you can learn to speak Spanish
I’ll teach you a useful word
Adios.
