Lyrics

Leaving The Country

I’m leaving the country

I’m leaving today

I’m taking the noon train

Down the coast through L. A.

It’s not just a weekend

A simple get away

I’m leaving the country

I’m leaving today

 

Mexico’s fine this time of year

The stars are divine in the South’s hemisphere

A deserted South Pacific isle of the charts

There’s where I’ll find

The pieces of my, my broken heart

 

I’m leaving the country

I’m leaving today

I’m jumping the queen’s ship

Panama to Calais

Tomorrow is waiting

I shouldn’t be late

I’m leaving the country

I’m leaving today

 

The summer in France outside Paris

An Autumn romance by the Caspian sea

A Greek tragedy, I imagine my part

There’s where I’ll find

The pieces of my, my broken heart

 

I’m leaving the country

I’m leaving today

I’m bound for nowhere

And nowhere I’ll stay

It’s not a vacation

It’s no holiday

I’m leaving the country

I’m leaving today
