What I'm Leaving For

Keep those lights on

Toys on the front lawn

Disneyworld 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

But 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

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
