YOU CAN COUNT ON ME LEAVING


















LICENSE THESE LYRICS AT SONGBAY

Caught a bus for the Hillcrest
On the Nicollet side
I paid a half-buck for the transfer
And three for the ride
Going to the west coast
Going to LA
I ain't told you but
I'm going today
And I'm gone
Man I'm gone

You can’t count on me
But you can this count on:
I am here today
But tomorrow I'm gone

Ain't got much money
I won't need it there
Just enough for my meals
And enough for my fare
I'll send you a postcard
From the Hollywood sign
I'll send you another
From Hollywood and Vine
But I'm gone
Man I'm gone

You can’t count on me
But you can this count on:
I am here today
But tomorrow I'm gone

I ain’t one for trusting
And ain’t worth believing
But this you can trust:
You can count on me leaving

Don't cry no tears now
Ain't no regrets
You knew I was leaving
From the moment we met
I don't say no goodbyes now
I don't take the time
I'm packed and I'm leaving
For Hollywood and Vine
And I'm gone
Man I'm gone

You can’t count on me
But you can this count on:
I am here today
But tomorrow I'm gone
