[Verse 1]
It's pretty cold for late September
The autumn wind been creepin' in
The summer sun's packed up, it's long gone
There's a whole lot of leavin' going on, yeah

[Verse 2]
I hear it's warm in California (Oh yeah!)
I think it's time we hit the road
I just might call this band of gypsies
Go searching for our pot of gold

[Refrain]
Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' going on

[Chorus]
I close my eyes, picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time
Where I can find a reason to be strong
Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leaving going on

[Verse 3]
Well, close the window, draw the curtains
You ain't the only one here hurt
No one's right, no one's wrong
[Refrain]
Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' going on

[Chorus]
I close my eyes, picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time
Where I can find a reason to be strong
It seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leaving going on
Whoo!
Uh, uh

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
You used to live to say you love me
Now, you got one foot of the door
It's then you turn around and ask me
"Do we got it anymore?"
You got it!

[Chorus]
I close my eyes, picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time
Where I can find a reason to be strong
I close my eyes, picture your hand in mine
Yeah, I walk the line, you'll never hear me say goodbye
So, pretty baby, please be strong
Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leaving going on
[Outro]
And I'll come back for you baby
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
