(James Garrett/Ira Dean/Keith Burns)
Three months ago Tom and Becky Jones had a fight
She left hi overnight
Then my next-door neighbor said his woman gave him fits
He up and called it quits
The couple down the block barely finished their house
I learned this mornin` he`s already moved out
I don`t like what`s goin` down
Spreadin` like fire all over this town
Up and gone has done caught on
How else do you explain
Leavin` seems to be the goin` thing
It`s the goin` thing
Now here I am on this front porch tryin` to understand
This letter in my hand
You left it sittin` on the table when you went for a walk
It said we need to talk
You can understand my concern
I`m thinkin` maybe it`s my turn
I don`t like what`s goin` down
Spreadin` like fire all over this town
Up and gone has done caught on
How else do you explain
Leavin` seems to be the goin` thing
It`s the goin` thing
I`m not the kind to overreact
But you can`t deny the cold hard facts
I don`t like what`s goin` down
Spreadin` like fire all over this town
Up and gone has done caught on
How else do you explain
Leavin` seems to be the goin` thing
It`s the goin` thing
