I was a lot younger but I was a fighter And now he could get me out of any jail I packed up and left, part of me waited But I already know how lucky I am World softly spinning and the stars are forever And I remember the violence in your hazel eyes I know I should say, yeah I know I should tell her I'm sorry for everything and I hope you're all right Is the light still blinding? Is the morning sun still coming back? I was saved by the water of rivers By the laughter of children who wish I was home But asking the world to make it come easy Didn't work for your parents, yeah you're on your own I left in a hurry, my clothes barely buttoned And Travels With Charley tucked under my arm Got the road to yourself when you're out this early I'm thinking about you wherever you are
