Then into the verse


Well I sleep all through my mornings
                                     
Spend my afternoons just lying in my bed
               
Cause Ive done everything I could do and Ive said
                             
Everything that I could have said
       
And it kills me to think that 
                                        
straight lines have taken over the life Ive led
                               
So say fare thee well to the concrete
                            
Ill try to stand up on my own two feet
                               
There arent anymore winds in the road
                   
That'd be my time to go

                        
With my eyes glued on the road
                        
And from my fingers to my toes
                                       
I am aware of everything that I can know
                              
So Ill stand tall and Ill stand proud
                              
Ill sing a song and Ill sing it loud
                               
Ill bury all my apprehension underground
                            
I dont even know which way to go
                      
Pack my things and head home

I keep smiling at everbody
Passing by me and all I get is dirty looks
And all my friends were empty liars
Ive just been hanging out with the wanderers and crooks
There's no value in education
Its just lies and pens and paper and notebooks
I forgot about the state of the world
Guess Ill just fall in love with the girl
Got too many years left to spend
Shes all I think about in the end

Ill take my cue from rock and roll
And everything that Ive been told
Everything that I have known for my whole life
And Ive been too afraid to use
And Ive been too abused
To be concerned that I may loose this silly game
I dont even know which way to go
Pack my things and head home

I got some family in Alaska
I got some friends out in old Ohio
And Id be fine to take some sun
And Id be more than fine to play in the snow
I dont want to be no buisness man
Dont want to be no crooked CEO
So take me out to Kodiak Isle
Ill go out to sea awhile
My legs hanging off the stern
See what I can learn

And the Northern Lights say hi
With all their colors in the sky
Ill be sure to tell them that Im doing fine
There's just so much to explore 
that I have never seen before
And Ive found some things 
that are easier to ignore
I dont even know which way to go
Pack my things and head home
