I know I shouldn't say this
but my heart has left this place.
I've seen everything to see
and made every mistake.
I'm sick of feeling tied down,
I just need some room to breathe
I have packed up all my things
It's time for me to leave
This place I've called my home
my whole life
It's the only place I know
Let's just hit the road,
down to California
and leave the only place we know.
Cause the truth is
I've let this weight carry me down
I won't let myself be bound
by the walls of this small town.
I might miss the weather
or all my friends.
I promise that I'll come back soon
when I have made amends.
If time has taught me one thing,
It's to follow all my dreams.
No, I won't get too down on myself.
Nothing's too big for me.
In this place I called my home
my whole life.
It's the only place I know.
Let's just hit the road,
down to California
and leave the only place we know.
Cause the truth is
I've let this weight carry me down
I won't let myself be bound
by the walls of this small town.
But I swear,
that this town is a sinking ship.
I'll do everything I can
to make sure I don't go down with it.
No, I won't let myself sink in.
All that's left is a part of me.
A hollow ghost of a man to be.
I need to keep my head up
or maybe get some sleep.
I swear that tonight
I'll be alright.
Or what I need is a change of pace,
Get up tonight and leave this place.
A chance is all I need
to leave the minor leagues.
I hope that tonight,
I'll be alright.
I won't let myself be bound
But the roots of me
won't come unwound.
So, Mom and Dad
You'll be proud
When I get out
of this small town
Tonight.
