Whole Lot of Leavin’ (Clear Channel Stripped)

[Verse 1: Jon Bon Jovi]
Pretty cold for late September
Autumn wind's been creepin' in
The summer sun packed up, it's long gone
There's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on, yeah

[Verse 2: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora]
I bet it's warm in California
I think it's time to hit the road
I just might call that band of gypsies
Go searching for our pot of gold

[Refrain: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora]
Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi]
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time
Where I could find a reason to be strong
Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on

[Verse 3: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora]
Draw the windows, close the curtains
You ain't the only one here hurtin'
No one's right, no one's wrong
Lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi]
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time
Where I can find a reason to be strong
Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on
Hey, hey, hey

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Jon Bon Jovi]
You used to live to say you loved me
Now you got one foot of the door
It's then you turn around and ask me
"Do we got it anymore?"

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi]
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time
Where I could find a reason to be strong
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
Yeah, I walk the line, you'll never hear me say goodbye
So, pretty baby, please be strong
Seems like, lately, there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on

[Outro: Jon Bon Jovi]
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
I'll come back for you, baby
