Leaving Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Think ahead before you open your mouth
I might be thinking it through.
Gonna pack my things and catch a train headed South.
Or step right out of my car, into the
Rain drippin' down my fingers,
Into my eyes, you won't see me cryin' but,
What will you do when I am gone.
I creep slowly out of my bed,
Take one final look at you.
To empty out all those sweet memories from my head.
How did I ever end up playing your fool but,
what will you do when I am gone.
I creep slowly out of my bed,
Take one final look at you.
To empty out all those sweet memories from my head.
How did I ever end up playing your fool but
I'm on a train bound for glory,
Goin' klickity klack klickity klack
Away from you but
What will you do, when I am gone?
How the hell you ever get to be so damn cool?
Suck down my money and throw my love away.
How the hell did you ever get to be so damn slick?
You'll come slidin' slidin' down some day but,
I'm on a train bound for glory.
Goin' klickity klack klickity klack
Away from you but,
What will you do when I am gone?
