Leavin' 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 someday
So I jumped into the back of and 18-wheeler head 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 it would 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

I wanna go there and I'm not sceard
Our time's just begun oh yeah
Life goes by so damn quickly for me
Wanna have some fun
Life goes by so damn quickly for me
Wanna have some fun

So beat my head (beat my head)
When I feel the whole world falls apart
In the end I'll be alright (alright)

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
I grabbed my bag and kissed my mother
And I told her that I'd be back someday

I wanna go there and I'm not sceard
Our time's just begun oh yeah
Life goes by so damn quickly for me
Wanna have some fun
Life goes by so damn quickly for me
Wanna have some fun
