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

[Verse 2]
I bet it's warm in California
I think it's time to hit the road
I just might call that band of gypsies
Go searching for our pot of gold

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

[Chorus]
I close my eyes and 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 leavin' goin' on

[Verse 3]
Close the window, draw the curtains
You ain't the only one here hurtin'
No one's right, no one's wrong
Lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on
[Chorus]
I close my eyes and 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 leavin' goin' on
Hey

[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?"

[Chorus]
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time
When I need a reason to be strong
I close my eyes, picture your hand in mine
Yeah, I hold the line, you'll never hear me sayin' goodbye
So, pretty baby, please be strong
Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on

[Outro]
I'll come back for you baby
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
