"Thinking About Leaving"

I used to think love was the soft rope meant to tie me down
And all that could ever own me was a guitar and another town
Ten years can disappear real fast when every morning just leaves somewhere else behind
But I’ve been thinking about leaving long enough to change my mind

Lyin’ here beside you, I can feel it start to pull me away
The thought I’ll have again tomorrow that just came back from yesterday
But your embrace makes nay reason for those memories hard to find
And I’ve been thinking about leaving long enough to change my mind

Sometimes I miss the warm, bright lights, sometimes I miss the crowds,
Sometimes I miss the women I wrapped each song around
Sometimes I miss that world out there, so empty, hard, and unkind
But I’ve been thinking about leaving long enough to change my mind

Sometimes I miss the warm, bright lights, sometimes I miss the noise,
Sometimes I miss the fading sounds of every cheering voice
Sometimes I miss the world out there, so empty, hard, and unkind
But I’ve been thinking about leaving long enough to change my mind
