Lately the ties that bind feel like a noose around my neck
Choking the life from me and leaving my dreams gasping 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 leaving
And there's nothing in this world you can say
So don't insist on standing 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 pointing 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 leaving
And there's nothing in this world you can say
So don't insist on standing 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
