Catching Matches

[Verse 1]

I'm gonna leave a good man soon

I’m gonna leave him when I choose

I'm gonna leave when the time suits me right

I'm gonna leave him in middle of the night

[Refrain]

I pack my things and go

Take only what I can carry

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Goodbye husband, goodbye wife

Goodbye, big house, and goodbye heartstrings

Goodbye, little baby, goodbye long hair

Earring and necklace too, I’m gonna leave you

Gonna leave you and you, oh

[Chorus]

I'm going out to run with the big boys now

I'm leaving him in a bad situation

Well, I'm going out catching matches now

Let them burn for a second, then flick them to thе gutter

In a pile with one anothеr

[Outro]

I'm

I'm gonna leave
