Tracy Byrd - If I Stay lyrics

Lately the ties that bind feel like a noose around my neck

Choking the life from me and leaving my dreams gasping 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 leaving

And there's nothing in this world you can say

So don't insist on standing 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 pointing 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 leaving

And there's nothing in this world you can say

So don't insist on standing 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
