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
