Packed my bags to leave town
Leave town college bound, leaving behind the girl of my life
On the bus I'd read some
Think of her and my new-gotten freedom
How it would be to feel something new
I found all the right girls, the never-say-yes
And the sometimes-all-night girls
I didn't take time to think about her
Then one day it happened
It caught me sleeping, it caught me napping
Loving you took me by surprise
Packed my bags to leave town
Leave town homeward bound
I'm going back to the girl of my life
