Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes – Leaving Behind lyrics

Leaving Behind
(J. Lyon/M. Noble)

That sun on't wait, it's going down
I can hear that train just outside of town
You better think, think
Think of what we're leaving behind
I think about it, girl

Unmade bed, unpaid debts
A hundred thousand small regrets
Yea think, think
Just think of what we're leaving behind

That train is pulling out for good this time
The whistle echoes right across my mind
You know we ain't got one good reason to stay
So take my hand, baby
Cause we're running away
We're running away

All the hurt and the bitter tears
You and I've collected, baby, through the years
I say we lay ?em down on these railroad tracks
And let the 2:19 train blow the monkey off my back
Cause it's leaving now, baby
And that's what we're leaving behind
Think what we're leaving, baby
Think yea yea what we're leaving, baby
I want you to think what we're leaving, baby
Think about it, girl
Think what we're leaving, baby
