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
