[Verse 1]
Where I come from, the main street is a dirt road
And the place I live is out of the way
So everybody always wants to ask me
Why I haven't packed my things and moved away
Well I've been around enough to know what's out there
And I'm strong enough to say that I don't care
[Chorus]
I ain't leavin', I'm hanging tough
'Til the good Lord calls me up
I'll be here until my dyin' day
All I'm needin' is you by my side
A couple kids and a simple life
I wouldn't want it any other way
Well I'm holdin' to the things that I believe in
I ain't leavin'
[Verse 2]
Baby, I know sometimes life ain't easy
And it's a struggle just to make ends meet
And though we try and try, our simple way of livin'
Won't lead us to a life on easy street
But it don't matter how hard the road ahead gets
I ain't ever gonna call it quits
[Chorus]
I ain't leavin', I'm hanging tough
'Til the good Lord calls me up
I'll be here until my dyin' day
All I'm needin' is you by my side
A couple kids and a simple life
I wouldn't want it any other way
Well I'm holdin' to the things that I believe in
I ain't leavin'
[Chorus]
I ain't leavin', I'm hanging tough
'Til the good Lord calls me up
I'll be here until my dyin' day
All I'm needin' is you by my side
A couple kids and a simple life
I wouldn't want it any other way
Well I'm holdin' to the things that I believe in
Baby, I got everything that I'm needin'
I ain't leavin'
