I already know what 
I'm getting for my birthday 
It's something 
I've been wantin' all year 
I'm gonna get myself a very special present 
I'm gonna get myself a million miles from here 
There never was much happiness between us 
More tears and angry words and never smiles 
But now there'll be a lot of things between us and every one of them would be a mile 
I already know what 
I'm getting... [ guitar ] 
At last I'll be happy on my birthday by getting where your face won't spoil the view 
If absence ever makes my heart grow fonder 
It would grow fonder of my freedom not of you 
I already know what 
I'm getting... 
I'm gonna get myself a million miles from here
