They tried their best to drag him out Of a courthouse down in Montgomery Now they want to kick him out of school And take him off our money They can take those words off of paper and stone But he ain't gone, no He ain't the leavin' kind He'd never walk away Even from those who don't believe And wanna leave him behind He ain't the leavin' kind She stayed mad at him for a lot of years For taking her husband Started losing her faith and thinking that Her life meant nothin But when she looks at those kids She raised all by herself She knows she had some help Yeah she knows He ain't the leavin' kind He'd never walk away Even from those who don't believe And wanna leave him behind He ain't the leavin' kind No matter what you do No matter where you go he's Always right there With you Even from those who don't believe And wanna leave him behind He ain't the leavin' kind
