Drag my suitcases out once more
Got some empty cartons from the liquor store
Macram twine and masking tape
It's time to make the great escape again
Seems like I never hang around long enough
To grow any roots into the ground
Now I find I'm saying goodbye
To another nice old town.
I'm Gettin' Used to Leavin'
Gettin' used to all the faretheewells
Gettin' used to sayin' "I'll keep in touch"
When I know I probably never will.
This old town has been good to me
But there's something driving me on you see
So I'm going away
Though sometimes I think I'd like to stay, 'cause
All the folks I've met here have been kind
And if I could I would spend more time here
But that is not the case
I can't stay in one place, No I'm
Gettin' Used to Leavin'
Gettin' used to all the faretheewells
Gettin' used to sayin' "I'll keep in touch"
When I know I probably never will.
I don't ever cry anymore at the sound of goodbye
Maybe I'm a little bit cynical
Maybe I'm a little bit wise
Or maybe I'm
Gettin' Used to Leavin'
Gettin' used to all the faretheewells
Gettin' used to sayin' "I'll give you a call"
When I know I probably never will
I probably never will
I probably never will.
