     Dm                 Dm
I'll rent a truck; I'll pack my clothes;
     Gm               Dm
I'll leave before my landlord knows.
    Dm             Dm
I'd like to pay my rent but I'm
G7                      Dm
leavin' town, right  on time.
   Dm         Dm
My business associates
     Gm               Dm
have yet to get their rightful cuts;
       Dm         Dm
before they get impatient, I'm
G7                     Dm
leavin' town, right on time.
   Gm          G         A        Dm  
No longer much wisdom in hangin' around;
     Gm          G                A           Dm  
last night I was bounced from the last bar in town.
    Dm           Dm      Gm        G7
I'm leavin' this sad reputation of mine
A        Gm      A        Dm
miles behind and right on time.

The agents of the Treasury
are startin' to close in on me.
No miracle, therefore, that I'm
leavin' town right on time.
Five girls I've got the numbers of
think they're my one and only love.
Before they meet each other, I'm
leavin' town, right on time.
No longer much wisdom in hangin' around;
last night I was bounced from the last bar in town.
I'm leavin' this sad reputation of mine
miles behind and right on time.

They'll have to find some other fool
to teach the third grade Sunday School.
Just tell those boys and girls that I'm
leavin' town, right on time.

There is some fair community
where folks have never heard of me -
it's toward this sacred goal that I'm
leavin' town, right on time.
No time to stop and say goodbye,
no time for even one more lie;
they'll find out soon enough that I'm
leavin' town, right on time.
No longer much wisdom in hangin' around;
last night I was bounced from the last bar in town.
I'm leavin' this sad reputation of mine
miles behind and right on time.
