From the recording As Long As You Leave
As Long As You Leave is a slow-burning roots-soul track about choosing peace over a toxic relationship. Written from personal experience, it captures the moment when love turns into self-preservation—after forgiving lies and ignoring signs, walking away becomes the only way forward. Sonically, it blends swampy Southern groove with Americana soul, featuring gritty vocals and a restrained, moody build. Fans of Marc Broussard, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and JJ Grey & Mofro will connect with its honesty and weight.
Lyrics
Hair pins in my kitchen
Bread crumbs in my bed
You don’t even live here woman
Least that’s what you said
Complicated footsteps
Always staring out the window
Wantin’ other people
How we got here babe
I Don’t Know
As long as you leave
I’ll say I’ll always love ya
As long as you leave
I’ll write songs about ya
As long as you leave
I guess I’ll still think about ya
Baby please…you got to go
Why is yo sista here
Morning, noon and night
She Ain’t paid no rent
Lord, she compromised my principles
Shady little actions
Always textin’ on yo phone
Wanting other people
What we do wrong baby
I Don’t Know
As long as you leave
You keep yo secrets wit-cha
As long as you leave
I’ll be D’FOOL you wanted
As long as you leave
This time I won’t come and get-cha
Evil woman please…walk out the door!
There’s shoe prints on my ta-ble
Perfume on my coat
You think I’m dumb or blind, girl?
Lord, You’re runnin’ outta rope
Empty little promises
Your trail is plain to see
You say it ain't nothin'
…it’s crystal clear To ME!
As long as you leave
I’ll say I’ll always love ya
As long as you leave
I’ll write songs about ya
As long as you leave
I guess I’ll still think about ya
Evil woman please…You got to go.
