Leaving Town Lyrics

Baby, don't go..

Out there's a cold, cruel world

Baby, don't go... Out there's a cold, cruel world

You don't understand

I have to take this chance

Spread my wings and fly

They say 'you'll miss the quiet and the way you were raised, uh huh

But there's a stage out there where I'll write my own page

But baby, I'm leaving town, got a ticket to ride

My story's not written, in these rural lines

Yeah, honey, I'm leaving town, a new chapter, new skies

Casting off the comfort, to find the life that's mine

Cause we could hold tight, but it's time for the flight

And spread my own wings in the sky, takin' it high

We're not the same, babe, this house is a memory lane

But, honey, I'm grown now, a journey awaiting, it's calling my name

And leaving our porch light, means finding my own way

Yeah, honey, I'm grown now, like fledglings in springtime, I'm ready, flyin' away

Got my own place (own place), just me and these four walls

counting up the cost, but freedom it calls

Dinner for one, and I'll be just fine (uh huh)

'Cause baby, I'm payin' bills, yeah, independence in sight

Juggling life and work, but I'm holding on tight

Yeah, baby, I'm paying bills, crafting my world, setting my stage

It's true I've flown (I've flown), miles away from our home

But this heart, it beats, beats for two, not alone

In my quiet space, I whisper silent prayers

For someone to laugh with, and a love that's rare

(Oh) The city's loud but inside it feels so quiet

Longing for a love, can't seem to find it

Thought I needed freedom, but what I need is you (need is you)

In the chaos of my world, your love's the truth, the proof (uh huh)

I was bold, I was brave, claimed my space under the sun

But it's clear now, all I want is someone, someone (you know)

'Cause darling, I'm reaching out, it's your arms that I've missed

Through the noise and the crowd, it's that quiet love I wish
