JOHNNY CASH LYRICS - I'm Leaving Now

"I'm Leaving Now"

(feat. Merle Haggard)



Hold on honey I'd like to say

I'm busting out and breaking away

I'm letting you go like a hot horse shoe

I can't take another heart ache from you



Think about how it's gonna be

When you start back to needing me

When your dancing shoes have lost their shine

I'm gonna be gone in mine



I'm leaving now

I'm leaving now

Get out of my face

Get out of my place

I'm leaving now, adios

I'm leaving now



And the time it comes when you trim the fat

Feed the kitchen scraps to the front seat cat

Bye bye baby when the bills come due

You might have to give up a jewel or two



Eat your heart out anyway

It's hard as your head and it's cold as clay

It's all over now you won't have me

Your sugar daddy or your money tree



I'm leaving now yeah

I'm leaving now

Get out of my space

Get out of my face

I'm leaving now, hey hey

I'm leaving now



Pull up the collar on my traveling coat

Sell that miserable pleasure boat

I wouldn't give another nickel for another buck

I'm living on muscle, guts, and luck



If anybody asks where did I go

Tell 'em I went where the wild goose goes

I wouldn't have me an area code

Don't have a number, don't need a row



I'm leaving now, me to

I'm leaving now

Get out of my face

Get out of my space

I'm leaving now, adios

I'm leaving now



I'm leaving now

I'm leaving now

Get out of my space

Get out of my face

I'm leaving now, adios

I'm leaving now
