Steve Earle & the Dukes - Ain't Glad I'm Leaving Lyrics

I take my time comin', take my time a-leavin'
If you ask me why I'm goin', I'll tell you when it's needed
Oh, you know I'll never be the one you need
If you ain't glad I'm leaving, girl you know you oughta be

'Cause I lie, I cheat, and gamble, I steal from many men
Georgia to Los Angeles, Texas up to Maine
I'm a wanted man
Is that the kind of life you want to live (wanna live)
(Life you wanna live)
If you ain't glad I'm leaving, girl you know you oughta be

Here I go

So what's a girl like you, want a man like me (like me, man like me)
Never know what I'm gonna do
You never know where I'll be (I'll be, where I'll be)
Right now, baby
It might seem wrong
But you wake up in the morning, thanking to your Heavens that I'm gone

Oh, so don't take it too bad, ain't nothing you could do
I never fall in love, I always keep it on the move
It's just my way
It don't mean it's mean (mean, mean didn't mean a thing)
If you ain't glad I'm leaving
Girl you know you oughta be (oughta be, know you oughta be)
If you ain't glad I'm leaving
Girl you know you oughta be (oughta be, girl you oughta be)
