If I Stay

(Dean Dillon - Larry Bastian)

Lately the ties that bind

Feel like a noose around my neck

Choking the life from me

And leaving my dreams gasping for breath

I've lost sight

And so have you

Of the man you were attracted to

We lost me somewhere along the line.

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...
