Leaving Here
Pearl Jam · Lost Dogs: B-Sides and Rarities
The women of this town are being misused.
I've seen it all in my dreams last night.
Girls leaving this town 'cause we don't treat 'em right.
Well, I'll take a train... (take a train)
Fly by plane... (fly by plane)
They're getting tired, (getting tired)
They're sick and tired. (sick and tired)
All you fellas better change your ways.
They're leaving this town in a matter of days.
Girls are good, you better treat 'em true.
Seen fellas run around with someone new.
I'm getting tired... (getting tired)
Sick and tired... (sick and tired)
They're leaving here, (leaving here)
All leaving here. (leaving here)
Are leaving here...yeah, yeah, yeah...
Leaving here...been a while...
The love of a woman is a wonderful thing.
The way that we treat 'em is a trying shame.
I'll tell you fellas, yeah, it won't be long.
Before these women, they all have gone.
They're getting tired... (getting tired)
Sick and tired... (sick and tired)
Well, I'll take a train... (take a train)
Fly by plane... (fly by plane)
They're leaving here...yeah, yeah, yeah...
Leaving here...
Leaving, leaving...oh, leaving here, now...
Baby, baby, baby...please don't leave here.
Leaving Here - Pearl Jam
Released on the compilation album Lost Dogs: B-Sides and Rarities, "Leaving Here" stands as a poignant reflection of Seattle's grunge era. The track exemplifies Pearl Jam's signature blend of melodic rock and introspective lyricism, featuring layered guitars and emotive vocals that define the band's mid-1990s sound. As part of their extensive discography, the song captures the band's ability to explore themes of departure and emotional vulnerability without relying on explicit narrative storytelling. Its inclusion on a B-sides and rarities collection highlights its status as a significant, though perhaps less prominent, contribution to the group's catalog, offering fans a deeper look into their musical evolution beyond their major studio releases.
