#CHORUS
At the age of 17, when I was still a child
I didn’t like the way life treated me
I searched for something that could make my life worthwhile
There were some other places I’d rather be
#CHORUS
I packed my bags upon that summer day
and waited for the world to fall asleep
I left my home upon that summer night
I didn’t realize what leaving home would mean
#VERSE
I thought the world would give me
some kind of a break
I didn’t realize
the problems I would face
#CHORUS
Anxious to get away, I hitchhiked down the road
Looking back, I watched the street lights fade
I’d finally made it, I was out there on my own
I had no money and I had no place to stay
#VERSE
I thought the world would give me
some kind of a break — yeah…
I didn’t understand
That I had made a big mistake
#CHORUS
Living on anything I could steal from the stores
I soon found out how hard it is to survive
Sleeping in alleys and old abandoned cars
I would do anything to keep myself alive
#INSTRUMENTAL
#BRIDGE
It’s lonely in the world
when you haven’t got a home
It’s lonely when you’re running…
#CHORUS
I started thinking about why I had run
And then I headed back to where I started from
… Yes, I headed back to where I started from
