Lyric If I Stay

(Dean Dillon/Larry Bastian)

Lately the ties that bind
Feel like a noose around my neck
Chokin the life from me
And leavin my dreams gaspin for breath
I ve lost sight and so have you
Of the man you were attracted to
We lost me somewhere along the way
And I can t live like this no more
Knowing just outside that door
There s a road that leaves this all behind

There s a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I m leavin
And there s nothin in this world you can say
So don t insist on standin in my way
I can t find me if I stay

If you really love me if you care at all
You ll gladly step aside
I ve given you the best of me and now the rest of me
Is gonna take a ride
There s a gravel road that turns into a two-lane blacktop highway
That stretches out for miles and miles and miles
And the mileposts and the road signs are pointin out a white line
To a man I haven t been in quite awhile

There s a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I m leavin
And there s nothin in this world you can say
So don t insist on standin in my way
I can t find me if I stay
I can t find me if I stay
I can t find me if I stay
I can t find me if I stay
