"Who's Crying When I'm Leaving?" lyrics

There's a table where they know each other's names
Telling stories about their small town football games
They look happy, at least from my point of view
I'm a stranger at a table meant for two

I'm jealous of the birds even they know where to go
Staring out windows, going to places I don't know
No one's here to hold my hand if it all goes down
So would say a little prayer for the man who's always out of town

Who's crying when I'm leaving
Who's happy when my boots touch down
Does anybody think about me
When I'm not around
Hope I know it when I feel it
Is it crazy that It's all I want
If home is where the heart is
Tell me where my heart has gone

I've missed birthdays, couple weddings and a funeral
And some first steps, I was told that they were beautiful
I'm ashamed, wanna crawl out my own skin
Been a no show, brother lover son and friend

I'm jealous of the birds even they know where to go
Staring out windows, going to places that I don't know
I don't know
No one's here to hold my hand if it all goes down
So would say a little prayer for the man who's always out of town

Who's crying when I'm leaving
Who's happy when my boots touch down
Does anybody think about me
When I'm not around
Hope I know it when I feel it
Is it crazy that it's all I want
If home is where the heart is
Tell me where my heart has gone
Gone

There's a painting at a thrift store down the street
Of a garden, with a woman hanging sheets
So I bought it, and I'll carry it around
Till I find my place to settle down
