It's pretty cold for late September

And 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 bet it's warm in California

I think it's time to hit the road

I just might call that band of gypsies

Go search for our pot of gold

Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine

I still hear your voice that takes me back to that time

Where I can find a reason to be strong

Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on

Close the window draw the curtains

You ain't the only one here hurt

No one's right no one's wrong

Lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine

I still hear your voice that takes me back to that time

Where I can find a reason to be strong

Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on

You used to live to say you loved 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 that takes me back to that time

Where I need find a reason to be strong

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine

Yeah I hold 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 going on

I'll come back for you baby
