Leaving
On My Mind
Written by: Rusty Goodman
Verse I
This old house I’ve been
living in, is needing repair
The windows and the shutters
are letting in the cold, cold air
I say to myself, I’m going
to fix them, when I can get the time
But all I’m getting lately
is leaving on my mind.
Chorus
Lately all I’ve got is
leaving on my mind
It seems that’s all I’ve
been thinking about, most all the time
Soon and very soon I’ll leave
my troubles far behind
Cause all I’m getting lately
is leaving on my mind
Verse II
I guess I ought to be
looking for a better place to live
But I just can’t get excited
about the world and what it can give
I wouldn’t care if I could
buy it all with a solitary dime,
For what would this world’s
goods do me,
With leaving on my mind
Repeat Chorus, then:
Yes all I’m getting lately
is leaving on my mind
