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
