The Leaver Lyrics by Austin Merrill

Whiskey & Water

2019

Well, I was born in a little three room house
To a woman who sailed alone
She cut the cord herself
And she said
"There's no room for sympathy
There ain't room at all
So grow up quickly, boy
'cuz I'm no bearing wall."
I'm a leaver
I don't say it like I'm proud
But I'm a leaver
I stand with one foot
Out the door
(I'm a leaver)
Ooooo
You won't find me in a fancy hall of fame
No I'll never sign no autographs
Or ever make a name
And If passing through is all I ever do
I won't say it like I'm proud
I'm a leaver, I stand with one foot
Out the door
Well, I'm a hollow man, but still I found myself
With an angel who's baby blues
Cried the day I left
When she tried asking
Can I call your cell
I said, "Save your quarters, girl
I ain't no wishing well."
I'm a leaver
I don't say it like I'm proud
But I'm a leaver
I stand with one foot
Out the door
(I'm a leaver)
Ooooo
You won't find me in a fancy hall of fame
No I'll never sign no autographs
Or ever make a name
And If passing through is all I ever do
I won't say it like I'm proud
I'm a leaver, I stand with one foot
Out the door
I'm a leaver
Or I was until just now
But I can't leave her
So I turned my ship around
And said
You won't find me in a fancy hall of fame
No I'll never sign no autographs
Or ever make a name
But if loving you is all I ever do
Then I'll say it like I'm proud
I can't leave her
I'm done with walking out that door
I'm no leaver, no more
Oh oh
Mmmmm
(I'm no leaver
I'm a leaver
I'm no leaver...)
