[Verse 1]
C C7
Classical music is so clarinetty
C/F
I love meatballs but don't like spaghetti
G
It makes me so tired and I want to be ready
G
I love being ready to go
C C7
Oh, and I love to have to leave at the drop of a hat
C/F
I'm ready to go in seconds flat
G
Ready to go, hey I know about that
G C
I love being ready to go
[Chorus]
C C7
Oh, and I love leaving
C/F C
Throwing everything in the truck
C/F C
Fishing through the glovebox for the radio
G
And letting the hood the slam shut
C C7
And I love leaving
F/C C
And playing Tetris with the things in the van
F/C C
Circling the block til we get the right spot
G
And honking at my friends
[Instrumental]
C C7 C/F F/C G
[Verse 2]
C C7
People really love to say "remember when"
F/C
"Wouldn't it be great to do it over again?"
G
They'd give anything to go back then
G C
Instead of in the mess they've made
C C7
But me, I hate talking about the good old days
F/C
I never want to go down memory lanes
G
I only want to get into the passing lane
G C
And I've always been that way
[Chorus 2]
C C7
I guess I love leaving
F/C C
Leaving without saying goodbye
F/C C
Leaving without telling anybody I'm going
G
Quick as the blink of an eye
[Bridge]
F C
Someday I'll meet a woman I know who'll wanna keep me around
F G
And I'm gonna have to face the fact that I might want to stay
Am F/C C
But until then I'll just be a'sitting in my driveway
F/C G
Turn the key, hopefully I'll be on my way
[Chorus]
C C7
Oh, I love leaving
F/C C
Leaving all my troubles behind
F/C
I guess I'm getting that age when turning the page
G
Is easier than learning my lines
