(dean dillon/larry bastian)
Lately the ties that bind
Feel like a noose around my neck
Chokin the life from me
And leavin my dreams gaspin for breath
Ive lost sight and so have you
Of the man you were attracted to
We lost me somewhere along the way
And I cant live like this no more
Knowing just outside that door
Theres a road that leaves this all behind
Theres a half a tank of freedom in my chevy and Im leavin
And theres nothin in this world you can say
So dont insist on standin in my way
I cant find me if I stay
If you really love me if you care at all
Youll gladly step aside
Ive given you the best of me and now the rest of me
Is gonna take a ride
Theres 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 havent been in quite awhile
Theres a half a tank of freedom in my chevy and Im leavin
And theres nothin in this world you can say
So dont insist on standin in my way
I cant find me if I stay
I cant find me if I stay
I cant find me if I stay
I cant find me if I stay
