He Ain't the Leavin' Kind Lyrics
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 alotta years,
For takin' her husband,
Started losin' her faith in thinkin' that,
Her life meant nothing,
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' kind,
He ain't the leavin' kind,
Woo, woo,
He ain't the leavin' kind.

i love this song..... soo sweet to make a song fer God.. im a christian .. n i heard their whole album... all of the songs rox! way 2 go rascals!!! u never stop amazin ppl wit ur songs.
wow you guys are pretty good... i'm seeing the whole god thing :D so basically... this songs a metaphor??
this song is completely about God, it took me a while to understand it though. the first line is talking about how the Ten Commandments had to be taken out of that courthouse in alabama a while back, when its talking about school it means that kids cant pray in school anymore, and the money thing is when they were trying to take "In God We Trust" off of the coins, and in the bridge it is saying that "no matter what you do, no matter where you go He's always right there with you" which is so true
incredible song rascal!!! keep up the great work
I'm pretty sure the second part is about God. But first verse doesn't really make sense to me, who's it talking about? I still love this song. What do you guys think?
@queenvictoria_14 The first verse is about God as well. There is no praying in American public schools and "In God We Trust" is on all American currency. "out of schools" "off our money"

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 (http://www.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?

mnsdq. the "words" are the words on the dollar bills and the stones of the ten commandments sculpture. To take those words off paper and stone would be to take him off the dollar and the sculpture
but yeah
good song
Yeah, it took me a while to figure it out too, but the second verse clued me in. I didn't get the first verse til now, but I figured it had something to do with not wanting religion shoved down the throats of kids at school
Yep. GOD, isn't he amazing. I had heard this sone hundreds of times before but just thought it was about some dead beat that was trying to keep his life. But on the way home from a bible study I was listining to this song and when the chorus came on for a second time I felt like I got slapped in the face because it all made perfect scense. No matter how far and how long you run you can never get away from GOD's presence.
I was watching Academy Awards of Country Music, and that was then I realized it was about God. I love this song. It is such an amazing vocals, and unbelieveable lyrics
