| Lyrics |
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
