Driving in his Porsche down the palisades
in a leather bucket seat on a winter's day
racing by the windows you can see the frozen trees
behind him lay the pieces, of all his broken dreams
remembering the day, when he said goodbye
to the yelling, fires, slamming doors, and cries
but he was young and strong, he had lots of pride
if only the grass was greener, on the other side!

Gonna leave it all behind now
gonna throw it all away now
we don't understand him, never agree, he's leaving it all behind. x2
got himself a job, in a piano bar
moving down the coast, dreaming of the stars
thinking of the time when his name would be in lights
surrounded by the glare of the neon Vegas nights
year after year, soon he was the choice
they paid him any price for his golden voice
rising to the top, moving high and fast
everything he wanted now belonged to him at last!
CHORUS: x2
He got into the top, several years ago
now all he had were memories of the shows
his pent house in Chicago
his house at the beach
his emptiness day by day gave us all a piece
he ran out of the building like a madman on fire
he wants to leave behind all that he desires
he shouts out of the window as he's driving by
keep it all because i'm gonna leave it all behind!

Gonna leave it all behind now
gonna throw it all away now
don't understand him
never agree
but the one who was burnt was he x2

Gonna leave it all behind now
gonna throw it all away now
don't understand him
never agree
gonna leave it all behind
