Ain’t Glad I’m Leaving Lyrics by Justin Townes Earle

The Good Life

0

[Verse 1]
Well, I take my time comin', take my time a-leavin'
If you ask me why I'm goin', I'll tell you when it's needed
Oh, you know I'll never be what you need
If you ain't glad I'm leaving, girl, you know you oughta be
[Verse 2]
'Cause I lie, I cheat, I gamble and I steal from many men
Well, from Georgia to Los Angeles, Texas up to Maine
I'm a wanted man
Is that the kind of life you want to live?
(Wanna live, live you wanna live)
If you ain't glad I'm leaving, girl, you know you oughta be
[Break]
Here I go
[Bridge]
So what's a girl like you want with a man like me (Like me, man like me)
Never know what I'm gonna do and you never know where I'll be (I'll be, where I'll be)
I know right now, baby, it might seem wrong
But you gonna wake up in the mornin'
Thankin' to your Heavens that I'm gone
[Verse 4]
Oh, so girl don't take it too bad, ain't nothing you could do
Well, I never fall in love, I keep it on the move
It's just my way
I ain’t tryin’ to be mean
(Mean mean, tryin’ to be mean)
If you ain't glad I'm leaving
Girl, you know you oughta be (Oughta be, know you oughta be)
If you ain't glad I'm leaving
Girl, you know you oughta be (Oughta be, know you oughta be)
