They tried their best to drag him out Of a courthouse down in Montgomery And now they wanna kick him out of school And take him off our money They can take those words off of paper and stone But he ain't gone, no
Chorus He ain't the leavin' kind He'd never walk away Even from those who don't believe And wanna leave him behind He ain't the leavin' kind
She stayed mad at him for a lot of years For takin' her husband Started losin' her faith And thinkin' that her life meant nothin' But when she looks at those kids she raised all by herself She knows she had some help, yeah she knows
No matter what you do No matter where you go He's always right there with you
Even from those who don't believe And wanna leave him behind He ain't the leavin' kind
No, no He ain't the leavin', he ain't the leavin' kind He ain't the leavin' kind He ain't the leavin' kind
