(Harlan Howard)

I think I'll take a little trip just for the heck of it
That's what I've always longed to do
I will give this dreary life the slip just for the heck of it
See the places do the things I've always wanted to.

Woman you held me down for so long
Whatever you held me with is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

I think I'll stroll around the world just for the heck of it
Someday I'll remember how to live
I just might find another girl just for the heck of it
But this time I won't be expecting more than she can give.
