I left home in the middle of the night
Took an eastbound train that headed straight for the light
Got my ticket, thought I'd stick it to the man (Stick it to the man)
And I left my name and my loose change in your bed

I won’t keep you ‘cause I know you’re in love
And it’s not in me anymore, and it’s not your fault

So I’ll go left and you’ll stay right
And I’ll step back here with my head held high

Caught my feet up and I’m feeling kind of fine
Til the sun goes down and I miss the brown in your eyes

But I’ll try to keep and stick into the plan (if I got a plan)

I won’t keep you ‘cause I know you’re in love
And it’s not in me anymore and it’s not your fault

So I’ll go left and you’ll stay right
And I’ll come back here with my head held high
