If I Stay — текст песни (Tracy Byrd)

(Dean Dillon/Larry Bastian)

Lately the ties that bind
Feel like a noose around my neck
Chokin` the life from me
And leavin` my dreams gaspin` for breath
I`ve lost sight and so have you
Of the man you were attracted to
We lost me somewhere along the way
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
