Leavin’ It All Behind Me

Leavin it all behind me i watch the sun go down
So many things to bind me
and blind me
and keep me from where i’m bound
Turnin my face away pullin my collar up No such game to play
to say
i’m weary and i need help
When i think of all the time i’ve wasted Doing nothing with myself
All the life i could have tasted
Sits like an old book upon a shelf
Lord won’t you lend me a hand i’ve turned everywhere i know Don’t you know i’m only a man
I can stand
Anything if you let me know
Standin here watching my dreams fallin before my eyes Don’t ya know what all of this means
it seems
I’m forever sayin goodbye
When i think of all the love i’ve lost Movin the way i do
Often wondered if its worth the cost of Movin out on you
Leavin it all behind me i watch the sun go down So many things to bind me
and blind me
and keep me from where i’m bound
keep me from where i’m bound
keep me from where i’m bound
