[Verse 1]
I take a step outside and I 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
[Verse 2]
I'm all through with ties
I'm all tired of tears
I'm a happy man, don't it look that way?
Shaking dust from my shoes
There's a road ahead
And there's no way
Back home (no way back home)
Oh, but I have to say
[Chorus]
Leaving home ain’t easy
Oh, I never thought it would be easy
Leaving on your own
Oh, there's a million things
A-calling me back
Leaving home ain’t easy
On the one you're leaving home
[Bridge]
Stay my love
My love, please stay
Don't stray, my love
What's wrong, my love?
What's right, my love?
[Chorus]
Leaving home ain’t easy
My God, how could I think of leaving?
Leaving on your own
Still trying to persuade me that
Leaving home ain’t necessarily
The only way
[Outro]
Leaving home ain’t easy
But may be the only way
