Daddy lost his job today Mama says we'll move away I'll say goodbye to all my friends Fight the tears that I hold in Its hard to leave where you've always been Pack up and think you can't go back again Hold on to everything O how do you begin When your leaving where you always been Mama baked my wedding cake Daddy tried to hide the ache But if he knew I felt it too He would help us both get through It's hard to leave where you've always been Pack up and think you can't go back again Hold on to everything O how do you begin When your leaving where you always been Oh, oh, oh Life is full of changes rearranges and regrets But love will find your peace of mind And you will not forget, Oh, no you won't forget My children say to let it go Daddy's gone you've grown old Say goodbye to bricks and walls The memories within the halls It's hard to leave where you've always been Pack up and think you can't go back again It's hard to leave where you've always been Pack up and think you can't go back again Hold on to everything O how do you begin When your leaving where you always been?
