I'm leaving home
I'm crossing boundaries
I'm doing things
I've only dreamed
When I was just a boy
I couldn't wait to leave
This country home
Just take flight alone and be free
As I made my way
Found new forms of bondage
Bills to pay
And a love grown cold
My selfish ways
Brought lonesome misery
I hated everyone
Led me once again to say
I'm leaving home
I'm burning bridges
I'm doing things
I've only dreamed
Again I found
New prisons that held me
Things to dull my pains
Lonely women who'll gladly spend the night
Made a wreck out of my life
My children all hate me
My ex wives feel the same
A trail of broken promises as I leave
My wicked life
Has taken a toll on me
My body's failing
From the poisons in my life
So before I die
I make apologies
Makin up for lost time
As the shadows start to fall
I'm leaving home
I'm mending bridges
I'm fixing things
Before I leave
I'm heading home
I'm crossing Jordan
I see the the Glory
Of coming home
