Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jon Bon Jovi] Pretty cold for late September Autumn wind's been creepin' in The summer sun packed up, it's long gone There's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on, yeah [Verse 2: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora] I bet it's warm in California I think it's time to hit the road I just might call that band of gypsies Go searching for our pot of gold [Refrain: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora] Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on [Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi] I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time Where I could find a reason to be strong Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on [Verse 3: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora] Draw the windows, close the curtains You ain't the only one here hurtin' No one's right, no one's wrong Lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on [Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi] I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time Where I can find a reason to be strong Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on Hey, hey, hey [Guitar Solo] [Bridge: Jon Bon Jovi] You used to live to say you loved me Now you got one foot of the door It's then you turn around and ask me "Do we got it anymore?" [Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi] I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time Where I could find a reason to be strong I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine Yeah, I walk the line, you'll never hear me say goodbye So, pretty baby, please be strong Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on [Outro: Jon Bon Jovi] Uh-huh Uh-huh I'll come back for you, baby
