I Ain't Leaving Lyrics


Broken on the inside, thats what I used to say
Then Id pack my bags, raise a white flag, drive away
I thought thats what made me strong
But I was young, I was wrongAnd I aint leaving any more
Im not walking out that door
No more running away
I made up my mind to stay
Im gonna stand my ground
Stare my demons down, I aint leavingI dont know when it happened
But I turned a corner somewhere on the road
And on this side of those stubborn years
Somehow I'm not so broken any more
I pushed away what I shoulda held
Yeah, but sorrow taught me wellAnd I aint leaving any more
Im not walking out that door
No more running away
I made up my mind to stay
Im gonna stand my ground

Stare my demons down, I aint leavingTheres still a whisper in my ear
That Im trying not to hear
Haunted voices from my past
Promises of greener grass
Speaking to me everyday
Fighting hard to have their wayBut I aint leaving any more
Im not walking out that door
No more running away
I made up my mind to stayI wanna find out what its like
To live a different kind of life
To hang around and fight
For something I believe inUnderstand I aint leaving
I aint leaving
Broken on the inside
Thats what I used to say

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Mary Gauthier (born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1962) is an American country and folk singer/songwriter. Given up at birth by a mother she never knew, Mary was adopted. At age 15, she ran away from home and stole her parents' car, and spent the next several years in detox, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in jail. These experiences provided fodder for her songwriting later on (particularly her song "Drag Queens in Limousines").
