Lyrics
There's something I need to say
Expressing the need to communicate something important.
I'm not sad you're gone away no way
Clarifying that the speaker is not sad about the departure.
Won't be calling information
Committing to not seek information about the departed person.
Or waiting at the railway station
Rejecting the idea of waiting at the railway station for the person.
You walked out of my front door
Recalling the departure from the speaker's home.
I wasn't then but now I'm sure
Reflecting uncertainty at the time of departure but now being sure.
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
Expressing the desire to be physically distant, at least 2000 miles away.
2000 miles away from you
Reiterating the wish to be 2000 miles away, emphasizing distance.
2000 miles away from you
-2000 miles away from you
-2000 miles away from you
-Had to get me to the church on time
Mentioning the urgency to reach the church for a significant event.
To say that silly I do I do nursery rhyme
Referencing a nursery rhyme and a commitment to marriage.
You've been bitching at me for awhile
Acknowledging complaints or criticisms received.
Say hey now baby don't you cramp my style
Requesting not to interfere with personal style or freedom.
Don't go beating me like that
Protesting against physical abuse or mistreatment.
I'm glad you won't be coming back
Expressing relief that the person won't return.
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
Repeating the desire to be 2000 miles away for emphasis.
2000 miles away from you
-2000 miles away from you
-2000 miles away from you
-2000 miles away from you
-Don't go beating me like that
Reiterating the objection to mistreatment or violence.
I'm glad you won't be coming back
Reaffirming relief at the person's absence.
Don't let the Devil tempt you now
Advising against succumbing to negative influences like the Devil.
He'll lead you if he gets a chance
Warning about the potential consequences of yielding to temptation.
