It's leavin' time again I'm headed out with all my friends It's a roll of the dice I've never thought twice about the way I've been spending my time Trying my guts out for every dime Working in an office building tall Don't know who's next to you at all But being out here The blood, the guts, the beer is a test Only time will tell Brings you close, man Closer than hell CHORUS We're leaving, we're leaving again Can't recall where all we've been Guess we'll just go Go till we're too old Or we run out of road The other day I talked to Lou He quit back in '92 Says he misses it bad Those were the best times we ever had He said, "Give it hell till the end 'Cause once you quit you can't get it back again" CHORUS Expensive cabs and shitty food Washed down with cancelled flights Missed wake-up calls Missed holidays You miss your boy and wife All the late night drives that cause the dawn to strike you like a knife Hey man, this is a beautiful life CHORUS
