I put the locket that you game me in a shoebox
With all my favorite high school pictures in a Ziplock
So when I think I'm by myself I know that I'm not
Thanks for the extra cash
Please take good care of dad
And I promise you I'll call along the way
Mama, don't you cry
I'm moving on, but this ain't goodbye
We might be miles apart, I'll carry you in my heart
I'll send you kisses on the phone
But mama, I'm leaving home
In only four months,
I'll be coming home for Christmas
I bet that all the time will fly,
you know how it does.
Maybe I'll go and find
a nice guy and fall in love
I'll do my best to make you proud
Keep my room the same for now
Just in case these big
old dreams don't work out
Mama, don't you cry
I'm moving on,
but know this ain't goodbye
We might be miles apart,
I'll carry you in my heart
I'll send you kisses on the phone
But mama, I'm leaving home
We knew this day would come
And as bad as we wanna hold on
We both know it's time to let go (let go)
Mama, don't you cry
I'm moving on,
but know this ain't goodbye
Mama, don't you cry
I'm moving on
but know this ain't goodbye
We might be miles apart,
I'll carry you in my heart
I'll send you kisses on the phone
But mama, I'm leaving home
I'm leaving home
I'm leaving home
