Leavin’ This Holler
Well, I can feel it changin' in every moment, every hour
Lives start rearranging, and the sweet things all turned sour
Tried to take one for the team and stick around
Try to make things what they should be
But I can't, not in this town
So I'm leaving this holler
Leaving the heartache
And I'm leavin' the way things used to be
I will not be returning
My spirit is still yearning
For a chance at being happy, Lord, and free
And those chains they use to bind me
I'll break 'em off and find me a lover who will never let me down
Well, a brand-new start and a clean-washed heart
And I'll be good to go
Well, they say that you can't keep a good man down
I'm skippin' town
Well, I hate to waste my time here
I ain't got but so much left
I'm tired of running from the question
When the answer is the test
And I thought it would be easy
Let the chips fall how they will
Oh, I know that I got love to give
But I ain't got time to kill
So I'm leaving this holler
Leaving the heartache
And I'm leavin' the way things used to be
I will not be returning
My spirit is still yearning
For a chance at being happy, Lord, and free
And those chains they use to bind me
I'll break 'em off and find me a lover who will never let me down
Oh, a brand-new start and a clean-washed heart
And I'll be good to go
Well, they say that you can't keep a good man down
I'm skippin' town
So I'm leaving this holler (leaving)
Leaving the heartache
And I'm leavin' the way things used to be (used to be)
I will not be returning (return)
My spirit is still yearning
For a chance at being happy, Lord, and free (free)
And those chains they use to bind me (chains, I'll break)
I'll break 'em off and find me a lover who will never let me down (let me down)
Oh, a brand-new start and a clean-washed heart
And I'll be good to go
Well, they say that you can't keep a good man down (good man down)
I'm skippin' town
Lives start rearranging, and the sweet things all turned sour
Tried to take one for the team and stick around
Try to make things what they should be
But I can't, not in this town
So I'm leaving this holler
Leaving the heartache
And I'm leavin' the way things used to be
I will not be returning
My spirit is still yearning
For a chance at being happy, Lord, and free
And those chains they use to bind me
I'll break 'em off and find me a lover who will never let me down
Well, a brand-new start and a clean-washed heart
And I'll be good to go
Well, they say that you can't keep a good man down
I'm skippin' town
Well, I hate to waste my time here
I ain't got but so much left
I'm tired of running from the question
When the answer is the test
And I thought it would be easy
Let the chips fall how they will
Oh, I know that I got love to give
But I ain't got time to kill
So I'm leaving this holler
Leaving the heartache
And I'm leavin' the way things used to be
I will not be returning
My spirit is still yearning
For a chance at being happy, Lord, and free
And those chains they use to bind me
I'll break 'em off and find me a lover who will never let me down
Oh, a brand-new start and a clean-washed heart
And I'll be good to go
Well, they say that you can't keep a good man down
I'm skippin' town
So I'm leaving this holler (leaving)
Leaving the heartache
And I'm leavin' the way things used to be (used to be)
I will not be returning (return)
My spirit is still yearning
For a chance at being happy, Lord, and free (free)
And those chains they use to bind me (chains, I'll break)

Oh, a brand-new start and a clean-washed heart
And I'll be good to go
Well, they say that you can't keep a good man down (good man down)
I'm skippin' town
