When I Left Home
i left home when i was real young
went up to new york city
left a girl i loved in the rear view
went off to chase my dreams
i thought iâd be some rock star
have 50 people working for me
just wanted to play on my guitar
just like my family before me
20 years later, you know, iâm still kickinâ around
never thought iâd amount to much
or be the talk of the town
when i left home
when i left home, when i left home
had a band down in memphis
i played l.a. on the strip
got real close to the brass ring
then got married and had a kid
gave up the dream just for a while
to be a dad
he went off to school, i went out on tour
put a couple thousand gigs behind me
20 years from now i hope iâm still kickinâ around
and i wouldnât change a thing âcause it got me here now
went up to new york city
left a girl i loved in the rear view
went off to chase my dreams
i thought iâd be some rock star
have 50 people working for me
just wanted to play on my guitar
just like my family before me
20 years later, you know, iâm still kickinâ around
never thought iâd amount to much
or be the talk of the town
when i left home
when i left home, when i left home
had a band down in memphis
i played l.a. on the strip
got real close to the brass ring
then got married and had a kid
gave up the dream just for a while
to be a dad
he went off to school, i went out on tour
put a couple thousand gigs behind me
20 years from now i hope iâm still kickinâ around
and i wouldnât change a thing âcause it got me here now
