[Verse 1]
I'm packin' up, I gotta move
I gonna blow a fifty-foot hole in the dark clouds in my room
I'm makin' a change, I'm gonna start today
I'm gonna roll these dice with a song tonight, I'm gonna whip these blues away
I'm gonna run so far they'll never find me again

[Chorus]
But I ain't leavin', I ain't leavin' 'less I'm leavin' here with you
I've been patient while I waited, but I feel it's time to move
You've been cryin', yeah I've seen you, honey I've been cryin' too
If your prayers don't get to heaven, I'm gon' keep them safe for you
If your prayers don't get to heaven, I'm gon' keep them safe 'til they do

[Verse 2]
I just wait in the cold, cold gray
But I know like I've been told, yeah, mama said, “Hold onto hope”
She whispers sweet, "There's a light in glory”
But you gotta burn that sound of the voices out that wanna bring you to your knees
And you gotta run so far they'll never find you again

[Chorus]
But I ain't leavin', I ain't leavin' 'less I'm leavin' here with you
I've been patient while I waited, but I feel it's time to move
You've been cryin', yeah I've seen you, honey I've been cryin' too
If your prayers don't get to heaven, I'm gon' keep them safe for you
If your prayers don't get to heaven, I'm gon' keep them safe 'til they do
[Bridge]
And when I was a child a dream came to me
Where every soul hangin' low found its piece of dignity
But 'til that dream gets to heaven you can ride this train for free
'Til that dream gets to heaven you can ride this train on me
And we're gonna run so far they'll never find us again

[Chorus]
But I ain't leavin', I ain't leavin' 'less I'm leavin' here with you
I've been patient while I waited, but I feel it's time to move
You've been cryin', yeah I've seen you, honey I've been cryin' too
If your prayers don't get to heaven, I'm gon' keep them safe for you
If your prayers don't get to heaven, I'm gon' keep them safe 'til they do
'Til they do
'Til they do
'Til they do
