Song Lyrics

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside the door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn',
The Taxi's waitin', he's blown his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

[Chorus]
I am leaving on a jet plane
Don't know if I'll be back again
Say won't you babe
I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down,
So many times I've fooled around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Ev'ry song I sing I sing for you.
Ev'ry girl me lay I lay for you
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.

[Chorus]

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,

Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe, I hate to go.

John Denver
