Leavin’ Lyrics[Verse 1]
There's a man upon a mountain
He's screaming at the stars
Says his love is gonna save him
And his passion is on fire
And if he listens very closely
In the distance, he can hear the tires a-squealing
See, the words we tell each other
They're the ones we wanna hear
Sometimes you throw 'em out and they come right back
And just trickle down your ear
And other times, you take a chance
And all you're gonna hear's the paint a-peeling
[Chorus]
Yeah, but many things, they change
When they left you barely breathing
But the girls all look the same
When they're leaving
When they're leaving
[Verse 2]
Yeah, this thing'll have you flying, boy
And feeling ten-foot-four
Dragging like a junkie
Just looking for one more
You know I spent some time busted up
In bed, a-counting cracks up in the ceiling
[Chorus]
Yeah, but many things, they change
When they left you barely breathing
But the girls all look the same
When they're leaving
When they're leaving
[Bridge]
Springtime blows the empty days
And, oh, they're clinging by their fingers in the rivers of my mind
Thickly through the hazy fog
The past just waves, it's getting far behind
[Verse 3]
Yeah, and everything keeps on changing
But it's all just the same
You know I find it deadly serious
But somehow still a game
And who's the crazy fool
Who keeps on changing what the winning hand's revealing?
I ain't never had no silver tongue
But I give it all I got
And ol' Boudleaux, he was right
It only burns you when it's hot
The strings are tied
And the scars, you know they're never really healing
[Chorus]
Yeah, but many things, they change
When they left you barely breathing
But the girls all look the same
When they're leaving
When they're leaving
