Lyrics

VERSE
I know I’ve left before
Many times, maybe more
And I know I, I was to blame
I guess it was the price of fame

VERSE
On the run way too long
From the devils made me go wrong
You helped me shake those devils free
So if I leave this time, I’m takin’ you with me

CHORUS
(So) If I leave this time, I’m takin’ you with me
Could not leave you behind; you’re all any woman could be
You surely have angel’s wings; just as surely, you made me a king
So if I leave this time, I’m takin’ you with me

TURNAROUND/VERSE
You’re my all, my salvation
You’re my life, my inspiration
The road ahead is very clear
There’ll be love down through the years

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Spoken: Well, we made it through, babe
’Cause I’ve left your wonderful world
All I’m doin’ now is Heaven-waitin’ on you
And hangin' out with all these good folks up here
