Leaving Song

(album: Midnight Radio - 1990)

Think ahead before you open your mouth
I might be thinking it through.
Gonna pack my things and catch a train headed south.
Or step right out of my car, into the
Rain dripping down my fingers,
Into my eyes, you won't see me crying but,
What will you do when I am gone.

I creep slowly out of my bed,
Take one final look at you.
To empty out all those sweet memories from my head.
How did I ever end up playing your fool but,
I'm on a train bound for glory,
Going klickity klack klickity klack
Away from you but
What will you do, when I am gone?

How the hell you ever get to be so damn cool?
Suck down my money and throw my love away.
How the hell did you ever get to be so damn slick?
You'll come sliding sliding down one day but,
I'm on a train bound for glory.
Going klickity klack klickity klack
Away from you but,
What will you do when I am gone?
