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 ? 
Shakin' dust from my shoes 
There's a road ahead 
And there's no way back home (no way back home) 
Oh oh but I have to say 

Leavin' home ain't easy 
Oh I never thought it would be easy 
Leavin' on your own 
Ah, Is the main thing calling me back ? 
Leavin' home ain't easy 
On the one you're leavin' home 

Stay my love my love please stay 
Don't stray my love what's wrong my love ? 
What's right my love ? 
Oh leavin' home ain't easy 
I thought how could I think of leavin' ? 
Leavin' on your own 
Still tryin' to persuade me that 
Leaving home ain't necessarily 
The only way 
Leavin' home ain't easy 
But may be the only way
