Leashless Farewell

The only tether is your own [Intro] I'm leavin' today I follow my own way The debt I had to pay No leash will ever make me wanna stay [Verse] I'm packing up to leave this town Ain't gonna see this man around The time has come to walk away No longer will I be your clown [Verse] I don't care how much you cry Or laugh as I walk by Better take your last try The time has come for sayin' my goodbye [Chorus] I will no longer be around To kick my teeth while I am down A phony smile and a paper crown A beating heart, nowhere to be found I won't lie upon the ground While you spread your sweet lovin' all around You will never hear another sound, from me 'Cause that's the way you wanted it to be [Harmonica solo] [Banjo interlude] [Verse] I had to face my fears And shed all of my tears, for you I know you know it's true I carried only love for you That love left at the bottom of my beers [Chorus] I'm goin' far away I'll be gone this very day Don't care what anybody has to say The price for lovin' you Was so much more than I could pay Now I'm not around You can search the whole damned town Another me cannot be found I left your shadow and your paper crown [Outro chorus] I don't care how much you cry Your cries are filled with hollow lies The lies you told to me when those tears were mine The time it has now come I am finally done I'm sorry my dear But you are out of time [Harmonica outro]
