You know sometimes me and my lady

Have these crazy fights and when we do

It makes me wonder if we're ever gonna get it right When I think about leaving I think about me

What my life would be like if I were back to being free

Go where I wanna go, do what I wanna do

Wouldn't have a soul I had to answer to

When I think about leaving I think about me You know I got a friend, him and his wife

Just couldn't see eye to eye he had all he could stand

One day and just packed up and said goodbye When I think about leaving I think about him

That little apartment 'cross town he's living in

Got an old corvette, got a new girlfriend

But only sees his kids every other weekend

When I think about leaving, oh I think about him I never will forget her face

Or the day she told me about her dad

How he walked out on her

And her mom when she was just a kid When I think about leaving, oh I think about her

Only five years old and her heart filled up with hurt

With her little arms wrapped around his neck saying

"Daddy where you going, are you coming back?"

When I think about leaving, oh I think about her You know the truth is, most of the time things are really great

And I know we got something special When I think about leaving I think about us

How we buildin' this love we share on faith and trust

The honest way we talk, the tender way we touch

All those nights we spent making love

When I think about leaving, oh I think about us When I think about leaving, oh I think again

Even though that thought crosses my mind every now and then

In my heart I know I would never leave

There's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be

When I think about leaving, I think again When I think about leaving

When I think about leaving

When I think about leaving

I think again
