(feat. Patty Griffin)


I've been down this road before

I walk out the door

Leave you on the floor



Sometimes you run and hide

Your foolish pride's

What keeps me from 

Giving you more



So the best thing I can give to you

Is for me to go

Leave you alone

Cause you got growing up to do



Someday I'll return when its time

For payment in kind

The church bells will chime



You'll stand before me surrounded by lights

Dressed in white

You throw flowers in the air this night



But the best thing I can give to you

Is for me to go

Leave you alone

You got growing up to do



Looks like the rain's pouring down on me

It's drowning me now

And all I want is to come back home

And this old corduroy coat is not keeping me dry

But I can't think of what else to try



That's why the best thing I can give to you

Is for me to go

Leave you alone

You got growing up to do



Yeah, the best thing I can give to you is for me to go

Leave you alone

You got growing up to do
