I Left It All Back There in Susanville

I was born and raised on the south side of this city,
And I watched the hours go by
Many a moment was shaded rather pretty
And some did make me cry
Well it's just the way that it goes I know that you tried

I've mapped out all these streets from the command of my bike seat
By the time that I was ten
And I knew the name of every face that I would meet
And little has changed since then
It's not what you say but what you do that I have come to believe

My mind is over these hills, my heart remember how it feels
It's too familiar to not be real, oh the details in this deal.
But I left it all back there in Susanville

I don't want to tell you all my news,
When every day we have is perfectly blue
The only choice I have I can't choose,
I only lose with you

Well older looking back I can see just what it lacked,
And how that combines to all make me
But I can keep what I want and what I don't want I take out
To the curb of my old street
Well it's just the way that it goes I know you tried
Sometimes the best you get is to just get by

My mind is over these hills,
My heart remember how it feels
It's too familiar to not be real,
Oh the details in this deal, now seem surreal
Oh my mind is over these hills,
My heart remembers how it feels,
It's too familiar to not be real, oh the details in this deal,
I left it all back there in Susanville

Oh I left it all back there in Susanville
