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
