"Can't Give It Up" lyrics

I woke up at 5AM to a cloudy sky
Couldn't fall asleep even with my tired eye
I got dreams of mine that always cross my mind
But the falling leaves show how much I've lost to time

And I want to leave home
Get away from it all
But I can't give it up
It's my will not my luck
No coattails to ride
Don't touch my name or my pride
That's the way that it goes
When you're brought up alone

I remember the day when I did not know my kind
So I held on close to a love that would soon be mine
And it left me busy and distant all the time
In a careless world where it's easy to fall behind

And I want to leave home
Get away from it all
But I can't give it up
It's my will not my luck
Got no coattails to ride
Don't touch my name or my pride
That's the way that it goes
When you're brought up alone

And I want to leave home
Get away from it all
But I can't give it up
It's my will not my luck
No coattails to ride
Don't touch my name or my pride
That's the way that it goes
When you're brought up alone
