"What I'm Leaving For" lyrics

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

Mmh-hm
