I'm Going Away Lyrics

I’m going away, I’m going away
I’ll be back some old day
I’m going away, I’m going away
I’ll be back some old day

Please tell me man what more can I do
Lord knows I can’t get along with you

I’m going away, I’m going away
I’ll be back some old day
I’m going away, I’m going away
I’ll be back some old day

Get away from my window quit knocking
on my door
I got another man now can’t use
you no more

I’m going away, I’m going away
I’ll be back some old day
I’m going away, I’m going away
I’ll be back some old day

When you’re in trouble I work to pay
your fine
Now I’m in trouble you don’t pay
me no mind

Get away from my window quit knocking
on my door
I got another man now can’t use
you no more

I’m going away, I’m going away
I’ll be back some old day

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think itÂ´s about someone who is going to breakup with her/his partner because he cant stand her/him anymore. So he/she is leaving, going away.
