I'm on the corner, catching the late train
I'm going somewhere, I'm leaving nowhere today
I got my reasons and my beautiful wine
I told my mama, said, "Boy you lost your mind"

They say shut up, shut up
You're going to ruin you're name
They say clean up, clean up
Don't think just play

S-s-say, say, say
Say what you wanna say
'Cause I'm gone, yeah I'm gone

S-s-say, say, say
Say what you wanna say
'Cause I'm gone, yeah I'm gone

I crossed the border, watching the sun drown
The seats are shaking but I don't wanna slow down
Now I'm living in a beautiful town
There ain't no people but they love my sound

Say wake up, wake up
You got things to sign
They say pick up, pick up
Your life is on the line

S-s-say, say, say
Say what you wanna say
'Cause I'm gone, yeah I'm gone

S-s-say, say, say
Say what you wanna say
'Cause I'm gone, yeah I'm gone

Oh, you used to be young
Yeah, you used to be wise
You used to be cool
What's with that look in your eyes

Say, say, say what you wanna say
What you wanna say, yeah

Tell me how you like me, look at me like that
Tell me how you like that, look at me dancing now
Look at me dancing now

Call me everyday just to say the same thing
Even in my sleep it's your voice repeating, voice repeating
Tell me how you like me now

S-s-say, say, say
Say what you wanna say
'Cause I'm gone, yeah I'm gone

S-s-say, say, say
Say what you wanna say
'Cause I'm gone, yeah I'm gone

S-s-say, say, say
Say what you wanna say
'Cause I'm gone, yeah I'm gone

Oh, you used to be young
Yeah, you used to be wise
You used to be cool
What's with that look in your eyes

Say, say, say what you wanna say
Say what you wanna say
Say what you wanna say

You don't know what you want, you don't know
You don't know what you want, you don't know
You don't know what you want, you don't know
You don't know what you want, you don't know
Say what you wanna say
