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.
