Leave My World Behind

Leave My World Behind
(lyrics by Benjamin Repp)

Thumb Out on the highway

Looking for a ride

Walking down the tracks, not looking back

I didn’t see the train go by

[Oh No….I just got to go]

1^st Verse

Take me by an airplane

Somewhere far away

I don’t have the will to pay these bills

I’ve just got to get away

[Oh No….I just got to go]

I’ve just got to go

don’t you know, I have to ease my worried mind

but no matter how hard I try

Chorus     I never find the time

I’d like to take a step outside myself

And leave my world behind

Look into the mirror

 starring back at me

is this the man I understand,

is this who I’m supposed to be

[Oh No….I just got to go]

The flames are getting hotter

Now I feel them burn

The bridge is down, no friends around

Nowhere left to turn

[Oh No….I just got to go]

Chorus

[Break]
