All my bags are packed
I’m ready to go
I need to leave, so let me go
I want to give it up, and say goodbye
Well my back is achin’
My body is torn
My mind is breakin’
I feel so worn
Already I’m so crazy
I could cry
So kiss me and smile for me
put me out of my misery
Free me and forever let me go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be sane again
Oh, please, I want to go
For so many days I’ve worn this crown
But I’d rather be a happy clown
I tell you now, that truly is my dream
Every place I go, I wanna sniff glue
‘Cuz I never thought I’d be rid of you
When I come back, I’ll remember not a thing
So kiss me and smile for me
put me out of my misery
Free me and forever let me go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be sane again
Oh, please, I want to go
Now the time has come to leave you
I’m finished now
I won’t miss you
I’ll close my eyes
And I’ll be on my way
I’ll dream about the days to come
And laugh about Encarnacion
About those times, you’ll just have to pray
So kiss me and smile for me
put me out of my misery
Free me and forever let me go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be sane again
Oh, please, I want to go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be sane again
Oh, please, I want to go
