Lyrics
Leaving Home
Words and Music by Linda Cullum
Home, I love you
I've had you for a while
And you have had me
The best of times
Over the years with friends and family
But something's come up and now it seems
That I will have to leave
It has nothing to do with you Home
and everything to do with me
I don't know where I'm going but I know I can't stay here
I'm thinking back the worry and I scare away the fear
I'm trusting in the future cuz the past's been good to me
I cast away my well worn key and embrace my destiny
Home, leaving home
Is it financial or the new neighbors
I'd rather not say
I'm just gonna sum it up to a
Simple twist of fate
And I knew the day would come
When I'd head out on a new journey
It has nothing to do with you Home
and everything to do with me
I don't know where I'm going but I know I can't stay here
I'm thinking back the worry and I scare away the fear
I'm trusting in the future cuz the past's been good to me
I cast away my well worn key and embrace my destiny
They say home is where the heart is
I know that it's true
Cuz Home that's where my heart's been
All the years I was with you
I love you Home! I love you Home!
I don't know where I'm going but I know I can't stay here
I'm thinking back the worry and I scare away the fear
I'm trusting in the future cuz the past's been good to me
I cast away my well worn key and embrace my destiny
Home, leaving home
