Mexico, a likely escape after all has been said and done. I think everyone has the thought of being able to tell someone they are leaving and will find another who can take their place at a lesser cost.

A small town, a bad relationship and the thoughts of getting away. A feeling of being used.

Lyrics
Pack it up ©2004
(Living life this way)
Lyrics by Gary Hankins
Lost in this state of Texas, so they say
A little place called Wichita Falls
Kind of off the way
We were goin nowhere
Livin day by day
At times I often wondered how?
I ever hoped to stay
So I think I?m
Gonna pack it up
Gonna pack it in
Gonna take this boy from Texas
So you won?t know where I am
If I were a cowboy
Livin life that way
I?d find me a little cowgirl
To brighten up my days
I?m not that kind of man you see
Got more things on my mind
Though it?s rather plain to see
Texas oh Texas ain?t for me
So I think I?m
Gonna pack it up
Gonna pack it in
Gonna take this boy from Texas, honey
So you won?t find where I am
Get on down to Dallas
Maybe San Anton?
One thing?s certain baby
Man, this man is gone
I?m not that kind of man you see
Got more things on my mind
Though it?s rather plain to see
Texas oh Texas ain?t for me
So I?m think I?m
Gonna pack it up
Gonna pack it in
Gonna take this man from Texas
So you won?t see me again
