Lately the ties that bind Feel like a noose around my neck Chokin` the life from me And leavin` my dreams gaspin` for breath I`ve lost sight and so have you Of the man you were attracted to We lost me somewhere along the way And I can`t live like this no more Knowing just outside that door There`s a road that leaves this all behind
There`s a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I`m leavin` And there`s nothin` in this world you can say So don`t insist on standin` in my way I can`t find me if I stay
If you really love me if you care at all You`ll gladly step aside I`ve given you the best of me and now the rest of me Is gonna take a ride There`s a gravel road that turns into a two-lane blacktop highway That stretches out for miles and miles and miles And the mileposts and the road signs are pointin` out a white line To a man I haven`t been in quite awhile
There`s a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I`m leavin` And there`s nothin` in this world you can say So don`t insist on standin` in my way I can`t find me if I stay I can`t find me if I stay I can`t find me if I stay I can`t find me if I stay
