Leavin' Seems To Be The Goin' Thing

(album: On A Mission - 2002)

Three months ago Tom and Becky Jones had a fight
She left hi overnight
Then my next-door neighbor said his woman gave him fits
He up and called it quits
The couple down the block barely finished their house
I learned this morning he's already moved out

I don't like what's going down
Spreading like fire all over this town
Up and gone has done caught on
How else do you explain
Leaving seems to be the going thing
It's the going thing

Now here I am on this front porch trying to understand
This letter in my hand
You left it sitting on the table when you went for a walk
It said we need to talk
You can understand my concern
I'm thinking maybe it's my turn

I don't like what's going down
Spreading like fire all over this town
Up and gone has done caught on
How else do you explain
Leaving seems to be the going thing
It's the going thing

I'm not the kind to overreact
But you can't deny the cold hard facts

I don't like what's going down
Spreading like fire all over this town
Up and gone has done caught on
How else do you explain
Leaving seems to be the going thing
It's the going thing
