lyrics
I walk a long and lonesome road,
The only things that I have ever known,
Is this old beat-up six string and a blue Ford van,
And my rock band…
I'm sorry Mama, I had to leave…
I hope one day you and Dad can forgive me,
For dropping out of school so I could go and play the fool with my best friends…
This life is my own…
I throw a dart onto a map and then I make it my home…
This life is my own…
And I will dance and sing atop this globe…
Father forgive me for what I've done…
I promise you one day light will shine from this son…
I know it makes you proud when this whole damn crowd sings my songs…
Mom and Dad, you gave me these hands,
And taught me how to be a man…
I pray when I have children I do right by you and fill them with God's grace…
This life is my own…
I throw a dart onto a map and then I make it my home…
This life is my own…
And I will dance and sing atop this globe…
I'm not coming home…
Bright lights and amplifiers are all I've ever known…
And I will dance and sing atop this globe...
