  packed up and ready to go  packed up and ready to go
  Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway,  Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway,
  a place where nobody knows  a place where nobody knows

  My chest is aching, burns like a furnace,  My chest is aching, burns like a furnace,
  the burning keeps me alive  the burning keeps me alive
  Try to stay healthy, physical fitness,  Try to stay healthy, physical fitness,
