Leave It All Behind Songtext / Lyric

Sadness lies in hopeless eyes

They trade their futures for family ties

Can't be free in this society

There's nothing here that's left for me



I couldn't stay and just slave away

I keep my promise for brighter days

I knew that there'd be something more

Something far from my front door



You left it all all behind

Won't you come 'round, make up for the lost time

I had to let go, know there's nothing to hold me down

That's why I can't go back, I'll never go back to that damn town






There's not one day since I've gone away

that I've forgotten from where I came

I left because I just had to see

If better things would come to me



You left it all all behind

Won't you come 'round, make up for the lost time

I just had to let go, know there's nothing that's holdin' me down

That's why I can't go back, I can never go back to that damn town

I'll never go back to that damn town



Wrong or right, you pick your fight

But don't get caught in that blinding light

I tried to be what they all see,

What's best for them just ain't no good for me



You left it all all behind (Oh baby I had to go)

Won't you come 'round, make up for the lost time (Oh I know I know I know)

I had to let go, know there's nothing that's holdin' me down

That's why I can't go back, I'll never go back to that damn town

Oh I could never, I could never go back

I'm just trying to trying to trying to trying to get on with myself now

Oh… I got to got to got to move baby
