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
