Leave It All Behind

(album: Welshly Arms - 2015)

Sadness lies in hopeless eyes
They trade their futures for family ties
Can't be free in this society
There's nothing here that's left for me

I couldn't stay and just slave away
I keep my promise for brighter days
I knew that there'd be something more
Something far from my front door

You left it all all behind
Won't you come 'round, make up for the lost time
I had to let go, know there's nothing to hold me down
That's why I can't go back, I'll never go back to that damn town

There's not one day since I've gone away
that I've forgotten from where I came
I left because I just had to see
If better things would come to me

You left it all all behind
Won't you come 'round, make up for the lost time
I just had to let go, know there's nothing that's holding me down
That's why I can't go back, I can never go back to that damn town
I'll never go back to that damn town

Wrong or right, you pick your fight
But don't get caught in that blinding light
I tried to be what they all see,
What's best for them just ain't no good for me

You left it all all behind (Oh baby I had to go)
Won't you come 'round, make up for the lost time (Oh I know I know I know)
I had to let go, know there's nothing that's holding me down
That's why I can't go back, I'll never go back to that damn town
Oh I could never, I could never go back
I'm just trying to trying to trying to trying to get on with myself now
Oh I got to got to got to move baby
