The Leaving Song
Think ahead before you open your mouth
I might be thinking it through
Gonna pack my bags and catch a train headed South
Or step right out of your 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 come slowly out of your bed
Take one final look at you
To empty out all those sweet memories from my head
How the hell 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 did you live to get to be so damn cool?
Suck down my money, throw my love away
How the hell did you ever get to be so damn slick?
You'll come slidin', slidin' down one 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?
