Lyrics

VERSE 1

SOME MEN LIKE MONEY, SOME MEN LIKE FAME
SOME TAKE THEIR CHANCES, WHILE THE REST GO INSANE
WELL I'M PACKING MY BAGS MAN, I'M LEAVING TONIGHT
'GONNA CATCH THE TRAIN AT PITTSBURG, GONNA FIND OUT WHAT'S RIGHT.

CHORUS

LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND.

VERSE 2

YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE HUNGRY, YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE SCARED
OH THERE'S SO MANY STRANGERS AND IT'S SO COLD OUT THERE.
WELL YOU CAN STAY IN YOUR HOME TOWN WITH THE LOSERS YOU CALL FRIENDS
YOU'LL WAKE UP SUNDAY MORNING, FIND YOUR WORLD'S A DEAD END.

CHORUS

LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
LEAVING THIIS WORLD BEHIND
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND.

BRIDGE

LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
BABY, THIS TOWN HAS POISONED MY MIND.
I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES
BUT I'M LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND.

LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND.

VERSE 3

I WISH I COULD SHOW YOU, THE LANDS THAT I'VE SEEN
OH' THE LANDSCAPES OF EUROPE AND THE AFRICAN SEA
AND WHILE A BABY DIES OF CANCER AND A MOTHER DIE OF NEED
YOU'LL SIT THERE CALMLY WASTING THE BRAIN GOD HAS GIVEN THEE.

CHORUS

LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND
