Lyrics for Leaving Home Ain't Easy

I take a step outside And I breathe 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 'Cause 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 Oh, but I have to say Leaving home ain't easy Oh, I never thought it would be easy Leaving on your own Oh, there's a million things are calling me back Leaving home ain't easy On the one you're leaving home Stay, my love, my love, please stay 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 necessary Leave the only way Leaving home ain't easy But may be the only way
