This old house I've been living in, is needing repair
The windows and the shutters are letting in the cold, cold air
I say to myself, I'm going to fix them, when I can get the time
But all I'm getting lately is leaving on my mind.
Lately all I've got is leaving on my mind
It seems that's all I've been thinking about, most all the time
Soon and very soon I'll leave my troubles far behind
Cause all I'm getting lately is leaving on my mind
I guess I ought to be looking for a better place to live
But I just can't get excited about the world and what it can give
I wouldn't care if I could buy it all with a solitary dime,
For what would this world's goods do me,
With leaving on my mind
Repeat Chorus, then:
Yes all I'm getting lately is leaving on my mind
