vance gilbert - leaving avon lyrics

[verse 1]
there’s a woman down in avon
got a husband gunning for me
’cause she sits staring out the window
and jumps for the phone when it rings
and the preacher down in avon
wrote an angry letter to me
said i won’t be invited back
he never bothered quoting scripture
i guess he didn’t want to waste it
now that just don’t sound like the jesus
he preached about on sunday
so i am leaving
[chorus]
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m lеaving avon forever (leaving avon)
and it’s through no choicе of mine
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
and it’s through no choice of mine

[verse 2]
it’s a good thing that it’s sunday
it’s a good thing that it’s raining
it hallows this departure
and the only ones to witness
are the widows and the veterans
on their porches and verandas
just sitting and rocking
and rocking and remembering
and i guess that it’s a blessing
that they don’t come to the railings
and ask me where i’m going
i would have to give a reason

[chorus]
for leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
and it’s through no choice of mine
[bridge]
so long to the peach trees
in the rolling golden meadows
on the south side of this town
all the fruit will be indifferent
to whether i’m there or not
come picking time
farewell to the children
that play hide and seek
beneath the clothes lines
through these back yards
there’s one there
with a twinkle in her eye
i swear she might be mine

[verse 3]
as i pass by st alicia’s
all the nuns look very busy
and the only one to notice
makes the cross upon her forehead
and my bag won’t make me weary
’cause it isn’t very heavy
my best is left behind me now
it’s a ten+buck p+wn shop legacy
it’s a blushing bride sunset
so i head for that horizon
and if west is my direction
it’s a good a way as any
[chorus]
for leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
and it’s through no choice of mine
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
and it’s through no choice of mine

[outro]
oh, i’m leaving
(leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
i’m leaving avon forever (leaving avon)
it’s through no choice of mine
