Pretty lady next to me, No more tears yeah, no more crying

Not to late to start again, keep on moving, keep on trying

Too much pain for one life

Too much pain for a loving wife

Starry eyes have turned to grey

Make these clouds all go away



I don't want to see no more hands falling on me

I just think it's time to leave

And now you finally cry

I just think it's time to leave



Rebel man has come and gone, Poor little boy can't sing his song

Working down at the factory, how come things aren't how they ought to be

Here comes Pop he sure looks mad

Much to mean to call my dad

Hey there Mom What did I do?

Nothing Sweetie, it's not you



I don't want to hear my little girl shedding no tears

I just think it's time to leave

And I don't want to dry my little boys crying eyes

I just think it's time to leave



I was twenty years old what could I do?

Twenty years old when we had you

And I don't think you're being fair

Still a little boy at heart

Running around in her backyard



Little girl is all grown up, she's come to know a loving touch

Got to find the same for mom, keep that heartbeat moving along

Hey there dad what you gonna do?

Kick in the door and try to break through

To get to her you gotta break through me

I ain't the little kid I used to be



I refuse to see anymore hands falling on me

I just think it's time to leave

And now you finally cry

Without your love I'll surely die

I just think it's time you leave
