Lately I Got Leaving, Leaving On My Mind Lyrics
Verse 1
This old house I’m livin’
In is needing repair
The windows and the shutters are
Letting in the cold cold air
I say to myself I’m gonna fix them
When I can get the time
But all I’ve been getting
Lately is leavin’ on my mind
Chorus
Lately all I’ve got
Is leavin’ on my mind
Seems that’s all I’m thinkin’ about
Most of the time
Soon and very soon I’ll
Leave my troubles far behind
Lately I’ve got leavin’
, leavin’ on my mind
Verse 2
I guess I should be looking
For a better place to live
I can’t seem to get excited about
This world and what it can give
I couldn’t care less if I could
Buy it all with a solitary dime
What good would a world down here
Do me with leaving on my mind
Chorus
Lately all I’ve got
Is leavin’ on my mind
Seems that’s all I’m thinkin’ about
Most of the time
Soon and very soon I’ll
Leave my troubles far behind
Lately I’ve got leavin’
, leavin’ on my mind
Notes
The hymn Lately I’ve Got Leaving on My Mind reflects a deep longing for heaven and the eternal rest promised to Christians. For a believer, it expresses the weariness of earthly struggles and the anticipation of a future free from troubles and pain in the presence of God.
In the first verse, the house needing repair symbolizes the frailty of earthly life and the temporary nature of physical existence. The singer acknowledges the responsibilities of life but admits that thoughts of heaven and leaving this world have taken precedence in their heart.
The chorus amplifies this longing, highlighting a focus on the eternal over the temporary. The hope of leaving behind earthly troubles and experiencing the peace of heaven becomes the central desire.
In the second verse, the hymn expresses disinterest in the material possessions and pleasures of the world. The singer recognizes that the promises of heaven far surpass anything this life can offer.
Ultimately, this hymn resonates with Christians by affirming the hope of eternal life and the joy of being united with God, inspiring believers to look beyond the temporary trials of life to the everlasting peace awaiting them.
