Katie Armiger - Leaving Home I put the locket that you gave me in a shoebox With all my favorite high school pictures in a Ziplock So when I think I'm by myself I know that I'm not Thanks for the extra cash Please take good care of dad And I promise you I'll call along the way Mama, don't you cry I'm moving on, but know this ain't goodbye We might be miles apart, I'll carry you in my heart I'll send you kisses on the phone But mama, I'm leaving home In only four months, I’ll be coming home for Christmas I bet that all the time will fly, you know how it does. Maybe I’ll go and find a nice guy and fall in love I’ll do my best to make you proud Keep my room the same for now Just in case these big ol’ dreams don’t work out Mama, don’t you cry I’m moving on, but know this ain’t goodbye We might be miles apart, I’ll carry you in my heart I’ll send you kisses on the phone But mama, I’m leaving home We knew this day would come And as bad as we wanna hold on We both know it’s time to let go (let go) Mama, don’t you cry I’m moving on, but know this ain’t goodbye Mama, don’t you cry I’m moving on, but know this ain’t goodbye We might be miles apart, I’ll carry you in my heart I’ll send you kisses on the phone But mama, I’m leaving home I’m leaving home I’m leaving home
