My skin is turning a sickly pale color,
my hair is thinning out,
and I’m losing a lot of energy and a lot of pounds.

I only have seven dollars
and twenty four cents left,
but I had to save it for the rest of the journey.

That means,
goodbye food,
goodbye motel.

Goodbye warm bus rides,
and goodbye heat.
I’ll miss you all dearly.
