Suitcase, suitcase, follow me around
Bootlace, bootlace, tie me down
Money for fun, yeah, golden crowns
It's all inside a game we've been playin' so long

Driver, driver, go too fast
Miser, miser, make it last
Butcher, butcher, on the run
It's all inside a game we've been playin' so long

And I'm sorry to be leavin'
It's all I get to say
Sorry to be leavin' today

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

And I'm sorry to be leavin'
It's all I get to say
Sorry to be leavin' today

Driver, driver, go too fast
Miser, miser, make it last
Butcher, butcher, on the run
It's all inside a game we've been playin' so long

(So long)
So long (so long)
So long (so long)
Hmmm, long (so long)
Ooh, long (so long)
Yeah, long (so long)
[drum fill]
So long (so long)
Yeah, long (so long)
Ooh, long (so long)
Yeah, long (so long)
Yeah, long (so long)
Yeah, long (so long)
Yeah (so long)
Ooh (so long)
(So long)
(So long).

SUITCASE (Joey Molland)

Suitcase, suitcase, follow me 'round
Bootlace, bootlace, tie me down
Money for fun, yeah, golden crown
It's all inside a game we've been playing for so long

Driver, driver, go too fast
Miser, miser, make it last
Pusher, pusher, on the run
It's all inside a game we've been playin' for so long

And I'm sorry to be leavin'
Yeah, that's all I get to say
'Cause I'm sorry to be leavin' today

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Well, I'm sorry to be leavin'
But that's all I get to say
'Cause I'm sorry to be leavin' today

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

(Driver dri-iiive)

Driver, driver, go too fast
Miser, miser, make it last
Pusher, pusher, on the run
It's all inside a game we've been playing, so long

So long [14 times].
