Leaving Normal Lyrics - Cowboy Junkies

It's been a long time since I've seen the high planes of Expectation 

and I'm way past the lowlands and the deserts of Failure and Doubt 

and the last time I passed through Satisfaction 

I felt like a stranger there 

Now I'm leaving Normal and I'm heading for Who Knows Where 

"Excuse me mister, is that seat taken, 

can I put my bag over here 

You know this trip will go a whole lot smoother 

if you take your hand from there 

No, I'm not from around here 

and my name's not Little Darling" 

Why is there one in every crowd 

and why do I atttract them?

Funny how the smell of a Greyhound bus 

now smells like a fresh start to me 

and now the sounds of the steelbelts on the blacktop 

is now the sounds of breaking free 

But I'd trade all those cancelled tickets 

for a single return fair to a station 

with a loved one waiting there 

I've finally learned that there's good and bad 

and that a girl can do some choosing 

Of that I'm glad cause this hardened face 

won't take any more bruising 

Yeah, and the next time I fall into another's arms 

there's one thing of which I'll be certain 

Yeah, you can bare the weight of another, baby 

without considering it a burden

Now I'm leaving Normal wherever I'm heading 

I don't care
