Leaving Home
I put the loGcket you gave me in a shoe box
With all my Emfavorite high school pictures in a ziplock
So when I tChink about myself and all that EmI'm not
Thanks fAmor the extra cash
Please tCake good care of dad
I proAmmise you I'll call along the Dway
GMama, dDon't you cGry
I'm movin' on but Emknow this aDin't gGoodbye
We might be miCles apart, I'll carry yGou in my heDart
I'll send you kAmisses on the phone but mDama
I'm leaving hGome
In only foGur months I'll be comin' home for Christmas
I bEmet that all the time will fly, you know how it does
Maybe I'll Cgo and find a nice guy and fEmall in love
