First Step to Leaving

Son, you could never rope the wind

To stop the tide from rollin' in

Or goin' out

Just like you can't find the words to say

To change her mind and make her wanna stay

Right now

When she takes that first step to leavin'

It's a winding road that never ends

Until she finds a road to healin'

That brings her back to you again

Wild horses couldn't hold her, son

It ain't you she's runnin' from

You gotta let her go

No, I can't tell you what she'll do

Even if you're walking in her shoes

It's hard to know

When she takes that first step to leavin'

It's a winding road that never ends

Until she finds a road to healin'

That brings her back to you again

When the voice of the reason says, "Just walk away"

The heart's gonna beg for one more day

When she takes that first step to leavin'

It's a winding road that never ends

Until she finds a road to healin'

That brings her back to you again

Until she finds a road to healin'

That brings her back to you again
