Leaving Home Ain't Easy

I take a step outside

And breathe the air

And I slam the door

And I'm on my way

I won't lay no blame

I won't call you names

'Cause I've made my break

And I won't look back

I've turned my back

On those endless games

I'm all through with ties

I'm all tired of tears

I'm a happy man

Don't it look that way?

Shakin' dust from my shoes

There's a road ahead

And there's no way back home

Oh, but I have to say

(Leaving home ain't easy) Oh, I never thought it would be easy

(Leaving on your own) Oh, there's a million things a callin' me back

(Leaving home ain't easy)

(On the one you're leavin' home)

Stay my love

My love

Please stay

Don't stray

My love

What's wrong?

My love

What's right?

My love

(Leaving home ain't easy) My God, how could I think of leavin'?

(Leaving on your own) Still tryna to persuade me that

Leaving home ain't necessarily the only way

Leaving home ain't easy

But it may be the only way
