I knew her Daddy was a preacher man
When I asked him for his daughter's hand
Said fire and brimstone was made for me
The answers no and now you can leave

But I aint leaving San Antone alone
You can pray and pray but you won't pray me gone
The lords done told me son just (? hold your own/hunger on)
So I aint leaving San Antone alone

I went and told her what her Daddy said
She started cryin cause her hurt her bad
Girl dry those eyes show some faith in me
This lovin heart can guarantee

I aint leaving San Antone alone
He can pray and pray but he won't pray me gone
The lords done told me son just (? hold your own/hunger on)
So I aint leaving San Antone alone

Well what I forgot to say
I left your Daddy's place
Your Momma followed me outside
She said don't pay him no mind
Just give me tonight
Me and the Lords gonna show him a sign

I aint leaving San Antone alone
I got my baby and her younger brother Joe
Her Mom and Daddy are following me
To a little church in the hills of Tennessee

I aint leaving San Antone alone
You can prayand pray but he won't pray me gone
The lords done told me son just (? hold your own/hunger on)
So I aint leaving San Antone alone

I aint leaving San Antone alone
