Leavin'
V. E. Paul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta go-Move on
Just leave the lights on
Grab some clothes set those sights on that
4 lane road, I'm gone
In a truck, in a train, in a car, in a bus
Change my luck, can't stay, going far, in a rush
Got that getaway feeling
Trust me, something better's gotta be right around this next turn
Gonna be just fine, toss the map, don't look behind, push that pedal down-burn
In a truck, in a train, in a car, in a bus
Change my luck, can't stay, going far, in a rush
Got that getaway feeling
I'm Leavin' Hey!
Here I go
Leavin' Ohhh
In a truck, in a train, in a car, in a bus
Change my luck, can't stay, going far, in a rush
White lines, exit signs, can't fly fast enough
Black top, rail way, spinning wheels
Don't stop
Got that getaway feeling
Got that getaway feeling
I'm Leavin'
I'm Leavin'
I'm Leavin'
Wheels don't stop
I'm Leavin' Hey!

I like that pause in the song. Its like youre in the heat of leaving. But then as you're goinh you have that little moment of final reflection. And then.. no! I'm leaving, and now I'm truly free.

Brandt is an under appreciated artist. I definitely hold Paul in high regard with other Canadian treasures such as Gordon Lightfoot and stompin Tom.
