I take a step outside, and I breath the air
And I slam the door, and I’m on my way
I won’t lay no blame, I won’t call you names
Because I’ve made my break, and I won’t look back
I’ve turned my back, on those endless games

I’m all through with ties, I’m all tired of tears
I’m a happy man, don’t it look that way
Shaking dust from my shoes, there’s a road ahead
And there’s no way back home (no way back home)
Oh but I have to say

Leaving home ain’t easy
Oh I never thought it would be easy
Leaving on your own
Oh is the main thing calling me back
Leaving home ain’t easy
On the one you’re leaving home

Stay my love, my love please stay
Don’t stray my love, what’s wrong my love?
What’s right my love?

Oh leaving home ain’t easy
I thought how could I think of leaving
Leaving on your own
Still trying to persuade me that
Leaving home ain’t necessarily the only way

Leaving home ain’t easy
But may be the only way
