Leaving

[Verse 1]
The sun's dipping low, casting shadows on the ground,
This old town's like a cage, can't break free, can't be found.
Every street, every face, it’s all the same old song,
Just packing up my heart, it’s time to move along.
The dust has settled here, but my dreams have gone astray,
I'm tired of the whispers, the heartache every day.
No more broken promises, no more sleepless nights,
I'm off to find my freedom, caught up in the flight.

[Chorus]
I’m just leaving this place, can’t stand it anymore,
With a suitcase full of memories, I’m walking out that door.
Searching for a new life, where the skies are always bright,
So see you in another life, I’ll be alright.

[Verse 2]
Used to think this town would hold my heart real tight,
But every glance I take just feels like broken light.
The barstools know my secrets, the jukebox sings my blues,
But I’m done with yesterday, it’s time to break these shoes.
The mountains call my name, and the rivers sing my tune,
I long to feel the freedom beneath a silver moon.
With each step I take, oh, I’m shedding all my chains,
Gonna find that open highway, where no one knows my name.

[Chorus]
I’m just leaving this place, can’t stand it anymore,
With a suitcase full of memories, I’m walking out that door.
Searching for a new life, where the skies are always bright,
So see you in another life, I’ll be alright.

[Bridge]
Oh, the nights are loud with echoes of the past,
But I’m throwing out the shadows, I won’t be the last.
I’ll chase the sunset's colors, let them light my way,
In the wild and open spaces, I’ll find my own array.
Each mile a new beginning, each town a brand-new friend,
With a heart wide open, I’m ready to ascend.

[Verse 3]
You may think I’m running, but I’m just finding home,
In the fields of tomorrow, never more to roam.
So wave me from a distance, let the time unwind,
In another life, my friend, I hope that you will find,
The love that we had here, it won’t fade with the night,
I’ll carry it within me, through the dark, into light.

[Outro]
So here’s to all the moments, the love and the strife,
I’m off to find my laughter, my new and vibrant life.
You’ll catch me in the starlight, you’ll see me on the rise,
In another life, my friend, we’ll meet beyond the skies
