Leavin

Well the first time that I went out on my own

I was a young man almost seventeen right down to the day

Well I packed up all my things

Grabbed my bag and kissed my mother

And I told her that I'd be back some day



So I jumped into the back of an 18-wheeler headed north

Destination didn't even ask

With the wisdom that my father gave me

Ringing in my head so clearly

Son this world's gonna kick you in the ass



I wanna go there and I'm not scared

Our time's just begun oh yeah

Life goes by so damn quickly for me

Wanna have some fun



Now looking back on all the days gone by

I sit and wonder what'd be like if I'd never went away

Would I see the world the way I do

The memories that brought me to

This place that I now call my home today



So beat my head beat my head

When I feel my whole world falls apart

In the end I'll be alright
