Johnny Cash
I’m Leaving Now
[Verse 1]
Hold on, honey, I would like to say
I'm busting out and breaking away
I'm letting you go like a hot horseshoe
I can't take another heartache from you
Think about how it's gonna be
When you start back to needing me
When your dancing shoes have lost their shine
I'm gonna be gone in mine
[Chorus]
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
Get out of my space, get out of my face
I'm leaving now
Adios, I'm leaving now
[Verse 2]
The time may come you have to trim the fat
Feed kitchen scraps to your front seat cat
Bye-bye baby when the bills come due
You might have to give up a jewel or two
Eat your heart out anyway
It's hard as your head and cold as clay
It's all over now, you won't have me
Your sugar daddy or your money tree
[Chorus]
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
Get out of my space, get out of my face
I'm leaving now
Arriverderci, I'm leaving now
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Turn up the collar on my traveling coat
Sell that miserable pleasure boat
I wouldn't give a dime for another buck
I'm living on muscle, guts and luck
If anybody asks where did I go
Tell them I went where the wild goose goes
I won't even have an area code
Ain't no numbers on freedom row
[Chorus]
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
Get out of my space, get out of my face
I'm leaving now
Tally ho! I'm leaving now
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
