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.

I'll bet it's warm in California
I think it's time to hit the road
I just might call that band of gypsys
Go searching for our pot of gold

Seems like lately there's a whole lot
Of leaving going 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 leavin' 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 of 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
When I need a reason to be strong

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
Yeah, I walk for a line
You'll never hear me say good bye
So pretty baby, please be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole leavin' goin' on
I'll come back for you, baby
