Capo 3

                      
Making my own city lights
                                 
Out of bourbon and the stars of a bar room fight
                     
Face forward in the wind
                                         
If you don't know where it is but you know where its been
                    
Then it's leaving, leaving,
                       
Leaving but I don't know where
        
Leaving, leaving,
                         
Leaving but I don't know where

I tried to keep my self in line
I been bad but I seem to get back every time
Now I come back and the place is all locked
Between the door knob and the doorbell,
Somebody talked
Now its leaving, leaving,
Leaving but I don't know where
Leaving, leaving
Leaving but I don't know where

                                     
And everytime I turn around
                             
Something else just floated away
                                
There ain't a single thing that I've found
                                   
With wings that decided to stay

Maybe it's the place on the wall
Or maybe it's the space where the phone didn't call
Or maybe it's this thing on my chest
We'll know what it is
By the hole that it left
Now it's leaving, leaving
Leaving but I don't know where
Leaving, leaving,
Leaving but I don't know where
Leaving but I don't know where
