I put the locket that you gave me in a shoe box
|
With all my favorite High School pictures in a Ziplock
|
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
|
|
Mama, Don't you cry
|
I'm moving on but no this ain't goodbye
|
We might be miles apart but 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 the time will fly, you know how it does
|
Maybe I'll go find a nice guy and fall in love
|
I'll do my best to make you proud
|
Keep my room safe for now
|
Just in case these big ol' dreams don't work out
|
|
Mama, Don't you cry
|
I'm moving on but no this ain't goodbye
|
We might be miles apart but 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
|
|
Mama, Don't you cry
|
I'm moving on but no this ain't goodbye
|
|
Mama, Don't you cry
|
I'm moving on but no this ain't goodbye
|
We might be miles apart but 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
|
