Zach Bryan - 'Leaving' (Truthful Sessions)

Here we have Zach Bryan performing his song "Leaving" right on the water in Oak Harbor, Washington. I flew out to Seattle from New Orleans to meet up with Zach and I think we accomplished our goal of recording something we can all enjoy. Thank you Zach for the opportunity and I had a great time meeting your family. Special thanks to Chase Marine for helping film this session and Ole Redman for the ride to the red-eye flight. Hope ya'll enjoy!

LYRICS

It takes a hell of a heart to know what a heart really needs
And I’m finding out that love ain’t what loves cut out to be
If I was not my mommas boy, I’d leave you crying in this car
Punch a hole in your damn dashboard and forget the girl you are

We’ve been fighting for so long, it’d be a shame to let this go
But I’d rather let it lie than hurt a sweet girl I know
And it’s getting dark now so won’t you just stay
And I’ll tell you that I love you till the leaving goes away

Till the leaving leaves this house
No we ain’t going out
Till I make some promises that I can’t keep
And I wish I could explain how the toxins in my brain
Get me so damn down sometimes I can’t speak
And you’ll try understand why I can’t be a better man
But it’s hard when I’m yelling at you in the street
But if leaving comes to staying and you walk yourself away
Leave knowing that no one could love you more than me

I hope the world don’t mind all the simple things I ask
Like a porch with good lighting and to hear my lady laugh
And I’ll act indifferent because I don’t want to leave
Because leavings for a younger man that I don’t want to be

Till the leaving leaves this house
No we ain’t going out
Till I make some promises that I can’t keep
And I wish I could explain how the toxins in my brain
Get me so damn down sometimes I can’t speak
And you’ll try understand why I can’t be a better man
But it’s hard when I’m yelling at you in the street
So if leaving comes to staying and you walk yourself away
Leave knowing that no one could love you more than me

(I really appreciate all the support. It was a pleasure meeting Zach Bryan and shooting this session for “Leave”.)

[Jarrn]

Gonna be honest Zach is the reason I’m starting to get into country

[mitch_smith]

He writes like he's lived an entire life time. I'm excited to see what this guy does in the future.

[shmackdoutmedia]

“And I wish I could explain how the toxins in my brain get me so damn down sometimes I can’t speak”

Man... that hit home. Dudes a hell of a songwriter

[gonzaloduran]

Not into dudes but I might just have crush on this guy

[zackman]

Sometimes you hear a song you can relate to.... than you hear a song that slaps you in the fucking face, and your in tears. This is that song and I feel this pain! Wish I didn't, but hope better men is what we become!

[coryevers]

“Leavings for a younger man that I don’t want to be”

“Leave knowing that no one could love you more than me”

As good as it gets 🔥

[austinjohnson]

I've been a fan for years and I'm going through the roughest times of my life, lost my little brother, my dad, and my grandpa in 5 months of each other and now a horrible divorce with 3 kids involved and this man helps me through it. I love Zach and his words and struggles ❤

[Dcscockpit]

Dude this guy just continues to blow my mind with his lyrics and music…one of a kind for sure

[robertnegru]

For me he's all the way up there next to Childers, Colter Wall.

[daved]

“Leave knowin that no one can love you more than me” this kid has a gift for phrasing I’ve not seen in a bit

[razaarr]

Having my 5 year relationship end a couple weeks ago, I have never connected to a song on a level as this song. Amazing songwriting, thanks for such an amazing song.

[christiantrujillo]

Man going thru heart break in life right now and his music helps so much

[WillJackson-zxfg]

I never thought in a million years I would ever listen to country

[johntonnemacher]

I was watchin this man before he released DeAnn. Not that it’s worth anything but it’s just crazy knowing he’s gonna be a big name in the next decade. Mr Bryan- Godspeed* my friend

[kjbrandon]

went and seen tyler childers last night and all i could have wished for was zach to open up for him.

[jarrodcollier]

Who knew a young man from Oklahoma could say every single word my brain has ever thought in 4 minutes

[bezkbeck]

Zach Bryan I am changing because of what you've given us. You'll never see this but one day I hope I can thank you for what you've done in mine and many others' lives. Thank you brother.

[pabloechevarria]

Man I swear his music gets to me. There's spirit in it.

[mikesmith]

As a former soldier I really felt this. I’ve had my demons, my ex’s demons and they as well as we fought each other all the time. We are good now but it was a rough road. This song touches me so much
