I'm Leavin'

Felt like turning away

'cause I paid and paid

a price too high

for me to stay

It was clear to me

pride won't set you free

this home ain't what it's supposed to be

ol' man told me

you ain't nothing without me

you wait-n-see

now I'm leavin'

and mama's cryin'

please don't go

I got no lock and chain

the devil I knew

had me tied and true

my cross to bear

that i broke through

say believers

ain't believin'

and wishers

ain't wishin' for more

chorus

I got no lock and chain

ol' man told me

you got wishes

and if wishes were horses

we'd all ride
