Cover art for Leaving On a Jet Plane lyrics by John Denver

I'm amazed that JD admits to fooling around on his girlfriend in a song like this.

"Hey, I'm sorry I've betrayed you so many times and I'm heading out of town again and probably will do it again. But when I come back, I'm going to settle down with you and get married. How bout it?"

THE PP&M version of this was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid, and still holds a special place in my heart. But the cheating part sure is bittersweet.

@PencilNeckedGeek I was just thinking about that line too and how it surprised me.... That line sort of pisses me off! lol

@PencilNeckedGeek It is human and honest. People thought John was like arrogant or something: His heart is breaking!
