A thousand acres
A country road
Windows down as a cold wind blows
Autumn leaves had turned to gold
Falling down like a country snow
I got my reasons why I'm leaving
Leave that feeling behind
In my rear view
The sun is trying
To paint a picture on the horizon
It reminds me when I was flying
Young and crazy
Not scared of dying
I got my reasons why I'm leaving
Leave that feeling behind
I got memories and I've seen faces
Different places most have never seen
Now I'm facing those in my rearview
I got a clear view of all that I can be
I got my reasons why I'm leaving
Leave that feeling behind
Three years later, A little older
A better man now I am
That's what I told her
I was wrong, I'm still a soldier
The smoke is clear, but my fights not over
I got my reasons why I'm leaving
Leave that feeling
You are my reason for believing this that feeling is behind
