I'm goin' away 'cause I gotta busted heart
I'm leavin' today if this ol' TravelAll will start
I recken where I'm goin', might need me different clothes
Way up in Michigan where the Laughing River flows
Twenty years in the minor leagues, ain't no place I didn't go
Well I gotta few hits but I never made the show
I could hang on for a few years doin' what I've done before
Wanna let the Laughing River flow right outside my door
My cousin Ray, he said he's got a job for me
Where the houses are still cheap, said he knows this nice lady
He said she even saw me play once, said she smiles at my name
Well upon the Laughing River, might be a whole new game
(Banjo/Harmonica)
So goodbye to the bus, goodbye to payin' dues
Goodbye to the cheers and goodbye to the boos
I'm trading in this old bat for a fishing pole
Gonna let the Laughing River flow right into my soul
So I'm goin' away 'cause I gotta busted heart
I'm leavin' today if this ol' TravelAll will start
I recken where I'm headed, might need me different clothes
Way up in Michigan where the Laughing River flows
Way up in Michigan where the Laughing River flows
