I put the locket that you gave me in a shoebox
With all my favorite high school pictures in a Ziploc
So when I think I�m by myself I know that I�m not
Thanks for the extra cash,
Please take good care of dad
And I promise you I�ll call along the way
Chorus:
Mama, don�t you cry
I�m moving on, but know this ain�t goodbye
We might be miles apart, I�ll carry you in my heart
I�ll send you kisses on the phone
But mama, I�m leaving home
In only four months, I�ll be coming home for Christmas
I bet that all the time will fly, you know how it does.
Maybe I�ll go and find a nice guy and fall in love
I�ll do my best to make you proud
Keep my room the same for now
Just in case these big ol� dreams don�t work out
Chorus:
Mama, don�t you cry
I�m moving on, but know this ain�t goodbye
We might be miles apart, I�ll carry you in my heart
I�ll send you kisses on the phone
But mama, I�m leaving home
We knew this day would come
And as bad as we wanna hold on
We both know it�s time to let go (let go)
Mama, don�t you cry
I�m moving on, but know this ain�t goodbye
Mama, don�t you cry
I�m moving on, but know this ain�t goodbye
We might be miles apart, I�ll carry you in my heart
I�ll send you kisses on the phone
But mama, I�m leaving home
I�m leaving home
I�m leaving home |
