Leavin'

Story Behind The Song

The lyrics started coming about a year before it was finished...i don't rush anything, it is what it is until it's done. I record quickly, usually try for a 1st take, mix it and done. In and out...

Lyrics

The day you said you're leavin, i was begging you to stay...
Now you're gone i can't believe it, never thought you'd walk away...
I told myself we'd be forever, but it's never everyday...
You're the rain in my good weather, and the pain don't wash away...
Now i finally see you're not the one for me, all you wanted is to play...
Someone to ride while you lied and cried, about the times that you went astray...

All your castles they are burnin...burning bridges on the way...
And the tide is slowly turning, no one hears a word you say...
Your reward for your pretending, it's the price you gotta pay...
All your fences need some mending, broken pickets need a new coat of paint...
Now you finally see it's not the way to be, breaking hearts along the way...
Playing every guy with a wink of your eye, holding hands and breaking homes for you is just another day...

Love the feel of this song. Very driving Guitar work. Nice Guitar solo.

I like the lyrics.

This a nice catchy tune. It has a good snappy beat.
