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
