Lyrics

Just Leaving

[Verse 1]

I am not got no business here

You have made it very clear

So I'm leaving

Leaving this old town

[Chorus 1]

My wings are kind of broken up

But I think I might can patch them up

Heaven help me

Lord, you got an angel down

[Chorus 2]

Time and only time can tell

If I'm to find Heaven or Hell

Then I'm leaving

I'm just leaving

[Verse 2]

I have given all I can

I've tried but you don't understand

So I'm leaving

I'm talking big for someone so small

I know I'll be alright out there

Even so, I'm just a little scared

But that's strictly just between us

And that's all

I'm going to be alright

I'm going to Paradise

I'm leaving

Just leaving

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 3]

I'm leaving

I'm leaving this old town

Leaving

I'm leaving

Lord, you've an angel down

I'm leaving this old town

I'm just leaving
