From Where I Began

Lyrics

Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots Stepping on down that highway in these boots But I don't wanna be another one of what they want I wanna write the songs I want to And bust my ass to make it where I am From where I began I've been a wild horse I've been a fast train I've put some miles on this hungry soul of mine Chasing the night with this gift that I've been given Of a six string telling every story that I write When you keep holding on to this thing for a lifetime Play for tips in bars and strangers passing by Oh it's taught me everything there is to offer Yeah it's brought me up to where I stand tonight Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots Stepping on down that highway in these boots But I don't wanna be another one of what they want I wanna write the songs I want to And bust my ass to make it where I am From where I began I've been a fighter And I'll take the last punch For the things that I believe are what is right And if you want it You gotta work hard just to get it Enough to spark a fire in your eyes Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots Stepping on down that highway in these boots But I don't wanna be another one of what they want I wanna write the songs I want to And bust my ass to make it where I am From where I began Well here's to the long drives and the places Seen a million different faces From the bars and the basements To the nightclubs and the stadiums All the chances that we're taking And the memories that we're making For a dream that you've gone chasing Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots Stepping on down that highway in these boots But I don't wanna be another one of what they want I wanna write the songs I want to And bust my ass to make it where I am Yeah I'm gon'na bust my ass to make it where I am And hell, it just might shape me up a better man From where I began
