Chasing Shadows Lyrics

Jimmie Van Zant Chasing Shadows

I DIDN’T LEAVE THEM DISAPPOINTED
MADE A PROMISE, AND KEPT IT TRUE
LAST TIME I SAW THEM THEY WERE POINTING
‘CAUSE I DID WHAT THEY WERE SCARED TO DO
THEY SAID IT COULDN’T BE DONE
NOBODY LEAVES WHERE I CAME FROM

YEAH, I COULD’VE TO STUCK AROUND
AND DONE THE SAME OLE STUFF
IN THE SAME OLE TOWN
THEN WIND UP WIND UP WISHING
I’D OF CHASE THOSE THINGS AROUND
I DON’T WANT BE THE ONE
WITH A WANNA DO THAT DON’T EVER GET DONE
MAYBE ONE OF THESE DAYS I’LL TURN RIGHT BACK AROUND
SETTLE DOWN INSTEAD OF CHASING SHADOWS

I STILL LOVE THREE CORNER COUNTY
AND I’M PROUD OF ALL MY ROOTS
AT LEAST MY DADDY UNDERSTANDS
THE NEED TO PUT SOME MILES BEHIND THESE BOOTS
HE SAID GO WALK THAT ROAD
WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF THEN YOU’LL BE HOME

CAUSE YOU DON’T WANNA STICK AROUND
DO THE SAME OLE STUFF IN THE SAME OLE TOWN
WIND UP WISHIN YOU’D CHASED THOSE THINGS AROUND
YOU DON'T WANNA BE THE ONE
WITH A WANNA DO THAT DON’T EVER GET DONE
MAYBE ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU’LL TURN RIGHT BACK AROUND
SETTLE DOWN INSTEAD OF CHASING SHADOWS

YEAH, I COULD’VE STUCK AROUND
DONE THE SAME OLD STUFF IN THE SAME OLD TOWN
THEN WIND UP WISHING I’D CHASED THOSE THINGS AROUND
I DON’T WANNA BE THE ONE
WITH A WANNA DO THAT DON’T EVER GET DONE
MABE ONE OF THESE DAYS I’LL TURN RIGHT BACK AROUND
AND SETTLE DOWN
GOTTA SETTLE DOWN
