Leaving Home

when you walked out the sky even cried pouring down over me as i stood on that lonely piece of road watching the blur of your taillights you've just wanted to live your life and i've held you back now you're headed to the big town my little girl's all grown up going out on her own leaving me at home to watch you on the tube singing country and blues becoming a shining star making something of a young girl form ohio

Interesting work..Sad when a parent faces letting their child really go..It is hard to do..We want to hold on and think that we can keep them safe and protected..Part of parenting is the letting go..Sara
