when i think about leaving

you know some times me and my lady have these crazy fights and when we do it makes me wonder

are we're ever gonna get it right

when i think about leaving i think about me

what my life would be like if i were back to being free

go where i wanna go

do what i wanna do

wouldn't have a soul i had to answer to

when i think about leaving i think about me

you know i got a friend him and his wife just couldn't see eye to eye he had all he could

stand one day and just packed up and said good-bye

when i think about leaving i think about him

that little apartment cross town he's living in

got an old corvette

got a new girlfriend

but only sees his kids every other weekend

when i think about leaving oh i think about him

i never will forget her face or the day she told me about her dad

how he walked out on her

and her mom when she was just a kid

when i think about leaving oh i think about her

only five years old and her heart filled up with hurt

with her little arms wrapped around his neck saying daddy where you going

are you coming

back

when i think about leaving i think about her

you know the truth is

most of the time things were really great and i know we got something

special

when i think about leaving i think about us

how we build this love we share on faith and trust

honest way we talk

tender way we touch

all those nights we spent making love

when i think about leaving oh i think about us

when i think about leaving i think again

even though that thought crosses my mind every now and then

in my heart i know i would never leave

there's nowhere else on earth i would rather be

when i think about leaving i think again

when i think about leaving

when i think about leaving

when i think about leaving:i think again
