Leave You Behind

(album: Ron Pope & The Nighthawks - 2016)

It's already started to snow
Watching my breath in the cold
The lights of the evening are starting to glow
I know you'll see the tracks that I leave as I go

But where am I going?
And who will I see?
Why am I leaving?
It's hard to believe
That I'm searching for answers
Am I wasting my time?
I wonder where am I going
When I leave you behind?

Feel of my wheels on the road
Silently run from my ghosts
The quiet reminds me that I'm all alone
I wish I could turn back but I know that I won't

But where am I going?
And who will I see?
Why am I leaving?
It's hard to believe
That I'm searching for answers
Am I wasting my time?
I wonder where am I going
When I leave you behind?

I am counting the miles that roll on as I go
Now the whites of my eyes have turned red as I hold
On to staying awake as I'm riding away
Hope my strength will hold out
Heaven knows I'm afraid

But where am I going?
And who will I see?
Why am I leaving?
It's hard to believe
That I'm searching for answers
Am I wasting my time?
I wonder where am I going
When I leave you behind?

I wonder where am I going
When I leave you behind?
