Leaving on a Whim
Adam Baldwin Lyrics

We used to make the coal pits shine
We had the ability to create beauty out of seemingly dull and dark things.

We turned a spark into firelight
We had the power to turn small ideas into big, impactful events.

Look to the stars in the middle of the night
In times of darkness, we seek guidance and hope from things beyond our reach.

For anything that's gonna save our lives but
The hope we cling to is fleeting and not necessarily reliable.

Our luck is like the passing time it's
The luck we've had is temporary and constantly changing.

Too short and of the very worst kind
The luck we've had has been short-lived and often negative.

I'm a fast man for my size
Although I may not seem like much, I am quick and agile.

I'm pretty fast but I'm running behind so
Despite my speed, I am still struggling to keep up with the pace of life.

After winter When you find no spring We'll be leaving On a whim
When life seems hopeless and unchanging, we will take a chance and leave everything behind.

He's been a good friend to me
This person has been a reliable and supportive friend.

He said to move it down to Seventh Street
This friend suggests a change of location or identity.

Set up shop out of the Mercury
Create something new and unique for ourselves.

Find the Living Room and play for free well I
Take advantage of opportunities as they come, even if they don't offer monetary gain.

Would not call it a tragedy but
Although things may not have gone our way, it is not necessarily the worst-case scenario.

This place ain't what it used to be
The current situation is not ideal or satisfying.

It saved nothing at all for me
We gained nothing from staying in this place.

Blew it all away in Ninety-three so
The past is filled with events that have had a lasting impact on us.

I sang a song for some mighty god
I gave my all, hoping to impress or please someone powerful.

I left his stage to no applause and I
Despite my efforts, I received no recognition or validation.

I think its time for me to move along
It's time to leave this situation behind and move forward.

I don't know how but I got it all I got it all wrong
Although I tried my best, I made mistakes and missed the mark.

Tired of sinkin' babe it's time to swim
We are fed up with our current struggles and are ready to take action to improve our situation.

We'll be leavin' on a whim
We will take a chance and make a big change without a clear plan or direction.

We'll be leavin' We'll be leavin' We'll be leavin' We'll be leavin'
We are determined to leave and will not be dissuaded from our decision.

We'll be leavin' on a whim
We are taking a leap of faith and trusting that things will ultimately work out for the best.
