I take a step outside and I breathe the air and I slam the door and I'm on my way. I won't lay no blame I won't call you names 'Cause I've made my break and I won't look back I've turned my back on those endles games.
I'm all through with ties I'm all tired of tears I'm a happy man don't it look that way? shakin' dust from my shoes There's road ahead and there's no way back home (no way back home) Oh but I have to say,
Leavin' home ain't easy (Oh I never thought it would be easy) Leavin' on your own (Oh there's a million things calling me back) Leavin' home ain't easy On the one you're leavin' home.
(Stay my love, my love please stay Don't stray my love what's wrong my love? What's right my love?)
Leavin' home ain't easy I thought how could I think of leavin' Leavin' on your own Still tryin' to persuade me that Leavin' home ain't necessarily the only way. Leavin' home ain't easy But may be the only way.
When I grow up to be a man Will I dig the same things that turned me on as a kid? Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did? Will I joke around and still dig those sound? When I grow up to be a man.
Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl ? (14,15) Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world? (16,17) Now I'm young and free, but how will it be When I grow up to be a man.
Will my kids be proud or think their old man's really a square? (18,19) When they're out havin' fun, yeah Will I still wanna have my share? (20, 21) Will I love my wife for the rest of my life? When I grow up to be a man What will I be When I grow up to be a man? (22, 23) won't last forever (24, 25) It's kind of sad. (26, 27)
