He checked out
Gone for good
He checked out
Without a doubt
Like a regular guy
Like you or me
Unfinished business

His too small voice
Had died in his head
No one else could hear
When I told him loud and clear
It's check-out time
It's check-out time

He was always good
At following directions
He ran them out till the end of the road
He did what he was told
Step by step

He never wanted to run
Might be wrong
The voice he heard
The voice of a liar
He took it in his stride
Til they told him
It's check out time

Check-out time
Check-out time
Check-out time
Check-out time
