lyrics

I was up in my room

when you heard me sing
I was strumming a chord on my six string
you saw how I took to that guitar
but words of advice you’d not done so far
you said: see how I work my fingers to the bone
and there’s no chords in ‘em when I come home
so boy if you don’t wanna be like me
start writing down everything you see

go somewhere
don’t leave a trail to come back here
go now, run
don’t follow me, go out and be someone

so I found a place
deep in the woods
and I saw my face in that neighbourhood
and I’d lay there at night
as the coyotes howled
I’d think about you and say “look at me now”
wherever I went I felt alone
so I’d write about people to keep me warm
and I make a living
I pay my bills
and I’m gonna be someone someday I will…

go somewhere
don’t leave a trail to come back here
go now, run
don’t follow me, go out and be someone


well then you got sick
you told your son
in your chest, in your heart, in your throat, in your lungs
said you caught it from songs you never sung
how they stuck to your insides
to the walls they clung
you said: get em out! Show everyone
the things that I told you when you were young
and never hide nothin’ from anyone
let em out and be done


go somewhere
don’t leave a trail to come back here
go now, run
don’t follow me, go out and be someone
