lyrics

Who’s that taking me away – from here?
Lifetime of memories – end of story not quite clear
A wave hello turns to goodbye – today
Why do people leave with so much left to say?

(Cause) I’m looking at myself
Wishin I was someone else
Don’t wanna go so far away
I’m leavin town
Don’t wanna go
I can’t stay

The road is clear - I make my way back home
Headlights beaming on the longest drive I’ve ever known
Lost in the music as the man plays my song
Someday I’ll welcome you to the place where I belong

I was looking at myself
Wishin I was someone else
Don’t wanna go so far away
I’m leavin town
Don’t wanna go
I can’t stay

I was looking at myself
Wishin I was someone else
Don’t wanna go so far away
I’m leavin town
Don’t wanna go
I can’t stay
