I filled my ol' car up with gas
north to Chicago I was goin'
Just drove ten miles and turned around
I couldn't leave without you knowin'
I had to see you one last time and
be with you once before I'll go
To talk with you just one more time and
then I'm bound north to Chicago
Still I wish there's something you would say
to make me change my mind and stay
But I guess it's gotta be this way then
I guess I'm bound north to Chicago
Please don't be angry that I've come
I know you didn't want to see me
I know I said I wouldn't call and I tried
my best love please believe me
Well everything I own is in my car you
can see I'm leavin' so you must know
I only come to say goodbye and
now I'm bound north to Chicago
(Ah Lord that woman done me
a fool of little ol' Hank
And I'm just gonna be movin'
on north to Chicago yeah)
