[Verse 1]
He checked out
Gone for good
He checked out
Without a doubt
Like a regular guy
Like you or me
Unfinished business
The still, small voice
Lived and died in his head
No one else could hear
When it told him loud and clear
It's check out time
Check out time

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
He was always good
At following directions
He read the map ’til the end of the road
He did what he was told
Step by step by step by step
He never wondered if the map was wrong
Or if the voice he heard
Was the voice of a liar
He took it in stride
The day they told him
It's check out time
[Outro]
Check out time
Check out time
Check out time
Check out time
