what i'm leaving for

keep those lights on

toys on the front lawn

disneyworld trip next summer

used kit for our little air-drummer

food on the table

brand new cradle

for the angel that's coming in a minute

this house and everybody in it

got my bags packed

got my ticket

got a heartache to go with it

baby

kiss me

say you'll miss me

but while we still got time

take a look at our little paradise

it ain't much but baby

you and i

picked the right stars

made the right wish

ain't nothing out there like this

and it kills me that i gotta go

couldn't do it if i didn't know

that every time i'm walking out that door

you know what i'm leaving for

when i'm out there

i know i'm where

i'm meant to be picking them strings

and getting that small town to sing

on that last turn home

i can hardly wait

to drop my bags

kiss your face

'cause all i can do is stop

and take a look at our little paradise

it ain't much but baby

you and i

picked the right stars

made the right wish

ain't nothing out there like this

and it kills me that i gotta go

couldn't do it if i didn't know

that every time i'm walking out that door

you know what i'm leaving for

oh

got my bags packed

got my ticket

got a heartache to go with it

baby

kiss me

say you'll miss me

while we still got time

take a look at our little paradise

it ain't much but baby

you and i

picked the right stars

made the right wish

ooh

ain't nothing out there like this

and it kills me that i gotta go

couldn't do it if i didn't know

you know that this heart of mine is yours

oh

and every time i'm walking out that door

you know what i'm leaving for

mmh-hm
