Paul Alan - Leaving Lonely lyrics

She pulls her favorite sweatshirt Over a head full of dreams 22 years of living in an army bag On a stranger's front seat She's going to Sioux Falls She's going to Boston She's going anywhere but where she's been Not a nickel to her name Not an iron in the flame Faith is just a flicker But it's burning just the same She's gotta catch a train and the one thing that she knows- She's never coming back again She's gotta run away- the past is a war she's never gonna win And she smiles as she waves 'cause someone painted "Jesus saves" off highway 109 on an old street sign She's a believer now... She's leaving lonely behind Where are you going, princess Said the man with a smile She couldn't remember someone asking In a long while She's never been good enough or anywhere near She's afraid of failure She's afraid of fear And he could see it on her face As he told her about grace Those may have been the sweetest words That she would ever hear And she is determined as a tear hits the floor No one's going to treat her like a failure anymore 'cause where is the freedom in this? Where is the mercy in this? where's the love and respect? Unspeakable bliss, Where's forgive and forget? Where is the freedom in this? Yeah this is one place she's never going to miss...
