Leaving For Good Lyrics

You were like a brother

And at times I called your mom my mother

Life here left you wanting

Had your bags in your doorway

When I heard that you were leavin' with a one way pass

I tied myself to the railroad track

I've done everything I could

'Cause I heard that you were leaving for good

To my disappointment

They said you hitched a free ride to Portland

There's no use in crying

As they handed me your note.

It read: I've gone westward. Moved on

My heart to find, you'll see in time.

When I heard that you were leavin' with a one way pass

I tied myself to the railroad track

I've done everything I could

When I heard that you were leaving

When I heard that you were leavin' with a one way pass

I tied myself to the railroad track

I've done everything I could

Cause I heard that you were leaving for good

Sickness brought you homeward

And my wedding was moving forward

Doctors said you're fine

But you just stayed in bed

and slept
