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
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
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 calling me back
Leaving home ain't easy
On the one you're leaving 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 leaving
Leaving on your own
Still trying to persuade me that
Leaving home ain't necessarily
The only way
Leaving home ain't easy
But may be the only way
