What I’m Leaving For

[Verse 1]

Keep those lights on

Toys on the front lawn

Disney World trip next summer

Used kit for our little air-drummer

Food on the table

Brand new cradle

For the angel that's coming in a minute

This house and everybody in it

[Pre-Chorus]

Got my bags packed, got my ticket

Got a heartache to go with it

Baby, kiss me, say you'll miss me

Oh, while we still got time

[Chorus]

Take a look at our little paradise

It ain't much but baby, you and I

Picked the right stars, made the right wish

Ain't nothing out there like this

And it kills me that I gotta go

Couldn't do it if I didn't know

That every time I'm walking out that door

You know what I'm leaving for

[Verse 2]

When I'm out there

I know I'm where

I'm meant to be picking them strings

And getting that small town to sing

On that last turn home

I can hardly wait

To drop my bags, kiss your face

'Cause all I can do is stop and

[Chorus]

Take a look at our little paradise

It ain't much but baby, you and I

Picked the right stars, made the right wish

Ain't nothing out there like this

And it kills me that I gotta go

Couldn't do it if I didn't know

That every time I'm walking out that door

You know what I'm leaving for, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, got my bags packed, got my ticket

Got a heartache to go with it

Baby, kiss me, say you'll miss me

While we still got time

[Chorus]

Take a look at our little paradise

It ain't much but baby, you and I

Picked the right stars, made the right wish

Ooh, ain't nothing out there like this

And it kills me that I gotta go

Couldn't do it if I didn't know

You know that this heart of mine is yours

(You know that this heart is yours)

Oh, and every time I'm walking out that door

You know what I'm leaving for

[Outro]

Mmh-hm
