Leaving
Lyrics and Music by Woody Russell / ©℗ 2004, Woody Russell, Cats Up The Street Music, ASCAP

I love leaving
Though it sometimes makes me cry
I love kissing those old ghosts
Goodbye, goodbye
I like watching the dust bury my old tracks
Though memories hurt for a while
But, I love leaving
More and more, mile after mile

These ramblin’ ways can lead to a lot of goodbyes
But, a change in the scenery suits my weary eyes
Oh Lord, it just suits my style
I love leaving more and more, mile after mile
I love leaving more and more, mile after mile

I love turning the corner
But the heartache comes when I’m clean out of sight
Not to mention some lonely nights
But I keep turning corners, clean out of sight

These ramblin’ ways can lead to a lot of goodbyes
But, a change in the scenery suits my weary eyes
Oh Lord, it just suits my style
I love leaving more and more, mile after mile
I love leaving more and more, mile after mile

Been through lovers and money and both broke my heart
My policies towards both were never sound
Keeps me heading for higher ground
Always leaving for higher ground

These ramblin’ ways can lead to a lot of goodbyes
But, a change in the scenery suits my weary eyes
Oh Lord, it just suits my style
I love leaving more and more, mile after mile
I love leaving more and more, mile after mile
