A magazine and a pack of nicotine gum
A thousand bucks and a suitcase from my mum
Five clean shirts and a picture of my son, I won't be long
I'm not sure exactly where I'll stay
So I packed a sleeping bag just in case
I've gone on and on with the same old song and dance
Meanwhile my Bonnie's moved on all the way to France
If this is really what I want all along
I must be strong and take a chance
It'll cost a lot but I'm not afraid
I sold two guitars to help pay my way
Won't she be surprised, won't she be surprised
Let's make our date this Christmas in Paris
Won't she be surprised when the clock strikes midnight
And I've traveled a million miles only for a new year's kiss
I'm twenty-nine and I know what I must do
It's time for a little romantic rendez-vous
Can I manage all this baggage?
Will I finally make my big move?
Together we both learned what love means
And she taught me what I can be
