leaving on a jet plane
Singer: j mascis + the fog
all my bags are packed
i'm ready to go
i'm standing here outside your door
i hate to wake you up to say goodbye
but the dawn is breakin'
it's early morn
the taxi's waiting
he's blowin' his horn
already i'm so lonesome i could cry
so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
i'm leavin' on a jet plane
i don't know when i'll be back again
oh
babe
i hate to go
there's so many times i've let you down
so many times i've played around
i tell you now
they don't mean a thing
every place i go
i think of you
every song i sing
i sing for you
when i come back
i'll wear your wedding ring
so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
i'm leavin' on a jet plane
i don't know when i'll be back again
oh
babe
i hate to go
now the time has come to leave you
one more time let me kiss you
then close your eyes
and i'll be on my way
dream about the days to come
when i won't have to leave alone
about the times
i won't have to say
so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
i'm leavin' on a jet plane
i don't know when i'll be back again
oh
babe
i hate to go
