Leave This Town

One of these days

I’m gonna leave this town

And the broken pieces lying ‘round

Gonna find some peace

On higher ground

One of these days I’m gonna leave this town

What’s this hold you have on me?

Thought it was love

But it’s the fruit

From a poison tree

Wind’s picking up

There’s a storm rolling in

Got to ride through the rain

’Til this darkness ends

I was born here like my Daddy was

And I fell in line

Like everybody does

I never thought to question why

’Til I let your heart

Get tangled up in mine

What’s this hold you have on me?

Thought it was love

But it’s the fruit

From a poison tree

I’m gathering strength

Like a hurricane wind

Gonna blow out of here

Won’t be back again

I wouldn’t trade this road I’ve taken

For the fortunes of anyone else

‘Cause in between the hope and desperation

I think I've finally found myself

Now there’s no holding on to me

No long goodbyes

Just a sigh of sweet relief

The night is colder than a northeast wind

But the sky is clearer than it’s ever been

Night time fades as I leave this town

And the broken pieces lying ‘round
