Tekst piosenki
I'm goin away,'cause I gotta busted heart.I'm leavin' today,if my Travel All will start.And I recken where I'm headed,I 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.And I could hang on for a few years,doin what I've done before.I wanna hear the Laughing River,flowin' right outside my door.My cousin Ray,said he's got a job for me.Where the houses are cheap,and he knows this nice lady.He said she even saw me play once,said she smiled at my name.Well upon the Laughing River,could be a whole new game.So goodbye to the bus.Good bye to payin' dues.Goodbye to the cheers,and goodbye to the booze.well I'm trading in this old bat,for a fishing pole.I'm gonna let the Laughing River,flow right into my soul.
