Title: Why Harassment Verse 1 Boots on the gravel, I was drivin’ away, Left the broken love behind at the end of that day. Didn’t raise my voice, didn’t slam no door, Just knew in my heart I couldn’t fight no more. But the whispers in the town start spreadin’ real fast, Turnin’ yesterday’s love to a courtroom past. Hook Why they call it harassment, tell me what did I do? Is it wrong walkin’ away when the love ain’t true? Now my name in the dirt and the rumors run free, All I wanted was peace, just to finally be me. Verse 2 Now she’s tellin’ every soul I ran from the truth, Sayin’ things about a child, pointin’ fingers for proof. Messages keep comin’, every night, every day, Like a storm in the valley that won’t blow away. But a man askin’ questions, tryin’ to see what’s real, Ain’t a crime in this world, it’s just how you heal. Hook Why they call it harassment, tell me what did I do? Is it wrong walkin’ away when the love ain’t true? Now my name in the dirt and the rumors run free, All I wanted was peace, just to finally be me. Verse 3 Lawyers and papers, yeah the story gets loud, Small town gossip turnin’ truth to a cloud. Every lie gets bigger every time it’s told, Like wildfire burnin’ through the country roads. But I’m standin’ right here with my head held high, Let the truth come out, let the falsehoods die. Hook Why they call it harassment, tell me what did I do? Is it wrong walkin’ away when the love ain’t true? Now my name in the dirt and the rumors run free, All I wanted was peace, just to finally be me. Verse 4 Now the moon hits the fields and the night rolls slow, Got this old guitar and a truth I know. You can’t chain a man down with a story untrue, And revenge don’t shine like honesty do. So I sing this song while the highway runs far, Just a man and his name and an old steel guitar. Final Hook Why they call it harassment, tell me what did I do? Is it wrong walkin’ away when the love ain’t true? Let the rumors fade out like the dust in the breeze, All I wanted was life… and a little peace.
