Leavin Lyrics

well the first 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
i 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 did not even ask
with the wisdom that my father gave me
ringin in my head so clearly
"son, this world's gonna kick you in the a**"

[Chorus]
i wanna go there
and i'm not scared
our time's just begun, oh yeah
life goes by so d*** quickly for me
wanna have some fun
now lookin back on the all the days gone by
i said "i wonder what it would be like if i'd never went away"
well i see the world the way i do
the memories that brought me to
this place that i now call my home today
[Chorus]
i wanna go there
and i'm not scared
our time's just begun, oh yeah
life goes by so d*** quickly for me
wanna have some fun
life goes by so d*** quickly for me
wanna have some fun

So be in my head
when i feel my whole world falls apart
in the end i'll be alright, alright yeah yeah
