I heard a rumor... It might be true.
It’s hard to tell, ‘Cause I’ve heard a few.
Could just be gossip that’s go - in’ a - round,
But I heard a rumor That you’re leavin’ town.

It’s just a rumor... a story I heard.
Not that I tend to believe every word,
But you know how stories can get out of hand.
So I had to call you to see what you planned.

You know what they say - it’s a jungle out there
Don’t be surprised when you find it’s not fair
Takin’ a chance on a new life somewhere
Placin’ your bets on a wing and a prayer

I heard a rumor that you’re movin’ on
Said your good - byes, now and leavin’ at dawn
I hope this ad - venture is just what you need
And whatever you do now I hope you succeed

You know what they say - it’s a jungle out there
Don’t be surprised when you find it’s not fair
Takin’ a chance on a new life somewhere
Placin’ your bets on a wing and a prayer

I heard a rumor I guess that it’s true
I just had to call you to say that I knew
Please keep in touch that’s my onl - y re - quest.
Remem - ber I’ve always wished you the best.

I heard a rumor... you’re goin’ away...
