I’ll Never Leave You

[Verse 1]
Out in the country the road meets the sky
I see the driveway I'm kneeling inside
All the old pictures are hung on display
Makes me wonder, what if I stayed?

[Chorus]
You always told me that you wanted me to go far
Watching me leave, I know that it breaks your heart
I'm getting older but we will stay young in my mind
I'm going places but I'll never leave you behind

[Verse 2]
Out on the courthouse I'm holding your hand
I'll always be your young country man

[Chorus]
I may make promises but I will never make plans
And if I hurt you I hope that you will understand
Speak of the devil and then you walk into my life
I'm going places but I'll never leave you behind

[Verse 3]
Now that I'm older and seen what you say
A thousand excuses and I've heard them all
And if I leave you I know that you'll always be mine
Wish I could be there but there's always mountains to climb
Go see the ocean and I will return here in time
I'm going places but I'll never leave you behind
I'm going places but I'll never leave you behind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh
