Born For Leaving

I heard you settled down in some coastal town

To finally drown all your sorrows out

Way down south in some ocean state

Where they all got 30A stickers on their license plates

While I'm stuck up here in colder weather

They say boy just forget it you'll be waiting forever

And I'm trying to run but I can't walk straight

Oh how I've grown into a man I've grown to hate

Cause your love is like the changing of the seasons

Won't you give me another reason to move on

Is it the letting down that keeps me feeling free

I guess I can't be the man I swore you to be

Cause my transgression sure ain't worth deceiving

Souls like you are born for leaving

Our shadows painted by the moonlight

You whispering in my ear you'd hold on tight

But New Orleans sure is a long way from Tennessee

Tell me what it is that made you get up and leave

Cause your love is like the changing of the seasons

Won't you give me another reason to move on

Is it the letting down that keeps me feeling free

I guess I can't be the man I swore you to be

Cause my transgression sure ain't worth deceiving

Souls like you are born for leaving

Souls like you are born for leaving

Cause your love is like the changing of the seasons

Won't you give me another reason to move on

Is it the letting down that keeps me feeling free

I guess I can't be the man I swore you to be

Cause my transgression sure ain't worth deceiving

Souls like you are born for leaving
