1
They tried their best to drag Him out
Of a courthouse down in Montgomery
And now they wanna 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 takin' Her husband
Started losin' Her faith and thinkin' 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
No, no
(He ain't the leavin', He ain't the leavin' kind)
He ain't the leavin' (He ain't the leavin')
He ain't the leavin' kind (He ain't the leavin' kind)
Ooh-ooh
(He ain't the leavin', He ain't the leavin' kind)
He ain't the leavin' kind
Of a courthouse down in Montgomery
And now they wanna 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 takin' Her husband
Started losin' Her faith and thinkin' 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
No, no
(He ain't the leavin', He ain't the leavin' kind)
He ain't the leavin' (He ain't the leavin')
He ain't the leavin' kind (He ain't the leavin' kind)
Ooh-ooh
(He ain't the leavin', He ain't the leavin' kind)
He ain't the leavin' kind

The entire song is about God. The chorus clued me into it, but the more I looked at it, I realized the whole thing is. In the first verse, the courthouse in Montgomery refers to this decision (cnn.com/2003/LAW/08/27/ten.commandments/); kicking 'him' out of school I assume refers to the general hesitation to refer to religion in the public school environment; the money - "In God We Trust"; and the removal of 'words' - perhaps the slight change of wording in the Pledge of Allegiance?
