Whole Lot Of Leaving

It's pretty cold for late September
The autumn wind is creeping in
The summer sun packed up, it's long gone
There's a whole lot of leaving going on, yeah

I'll bet it's warm in California
I think it's time to hit the road
I just might call that band of gypsies
Go searching for our pot of gold
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving goin' on

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time
Where I could find a reason to be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving goin' on

Close the window, draw the curtains
You ain't the only one here hurtin'
No one's right, no one's wrong
Lately there's a whole lot of leaving goin' on

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time
Where I could find a reason to be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving goin' on

You used to live to say you love me
Now you got one foot out the door
It's then you turn around and ask me
Do we got it anymore?

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time
Well, I need a reason to be strong

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
Yeah, I walk the line, you'll never hear me say goodbye
So pretty baby, please be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving goin' on

Will you come back for me, baby?
I don't know, I don't know
