Early in the morning 
When the sun begins to shine 
You will see this poor boy 
Leavin', leavin' love behind 
Seems it's just another day 
Guess I'm goin' another way 
Away from home 

She was the cause of all the grief you see me wearin' 
Nobody thought that we would ever split apart 
Seems it was an open door 
One that I've been thru before 
Away from home away, away from home 
Away, away, I must go 

I've done some livin' and for sure I'll do some dyin' 
Her kind of woman almost makes me give up tryin' 
Packed up everything I own, strapped it on my back 
I'm goin' away from home, away, away from home 
Seems what I've been looking for wasn't just an open door 
I must go away, away from home 

So movin' on along, I'll go 
This old road is all I know, go 
Away, away from home 
Seems what I've been looking for wasn't just an open door 
I must go away, away from home 
So movin'on along I'll go 

Aaaway hey hey away from home 
Away from home, away from home, away from home 
Away from home away away 
Down the road, down the road, the way I'm goin' 
Away from home, Away from home 
Down the road, down the road 
Away from home
