I can tell by the look that's in your eyes

And I'm not surprised

You got to move on like the sun got to rise

I'm just holdin' you down



But the universe is calling you

You are one of chosen fews

You got to pay your dues



Me and the baby gonna miss you

I see your smile in her face

I only wish we were with you now

It's a lonely, lonely place



But the universe is calling you

You are one of chosen fews

You got to pay your dues



Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door

Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door

Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door



I know you'll make it

You deserve it, you know you do

The blues, you'll shake it

I'll, I'll focus our view



Oh, don't let them change you

Come like thieves in the night

Oh, don't let them rearrange you, boy

You've got to do what's right



But the universe is calling you

You are one of chosen fews

You got to pay your dues



Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door

Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door

Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door



Once a month, each time you say

Goin' away, oh

I don't wanna see you go

No no no no no no no no no no



Oh you, you've got to make it

You've got to make it, boy

Go on now
