Verse 1
I've worked side by side with my old man
Since I was five years old
This morning before the sun came up
We were out in the freezing cold
I was feeding the herd getting up my nerve
To tell him my plans but he spoke first
He said
Chorus
There's a lot to be said for leaving
Even though it's been good to me
This life gets harder and harder
And it ain't what it used to be
I could lie and tell you otherwise
And I'd be proud if you wanna stay
But there's a lot to be said for leaving
I'll understand if you walk away
Verse 2
I've spent all my days on earth with him
And I swear he can read my mind
There's something more out there for me
Than barely getting by
I could see he cares more for me
Than carrying on his legacy
Cause he said
Chorus
Bridge
There's so much I could learn from my old man
And I wanna be like him some day
There's a lot to be said for leaving
But for now I think I'm gonna stay
