If I Stay Lyrics - Byrd Tracy

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
