My Name

When everyone knows everyone, it's hard to feel at peace
Never know who might be sitting at the table next to me
I'm always someone's cousin, someone's brother, someone's son
And everyone knows everything 'bout crazy stuff I've done

In this stick around town
All small talk is the same
When nobody's a stranger and my name means everything

I've reached a point in life where I think I can afford
To broaden my horizons
And open up new doors
I love where I was raised
It made me who I am today
But I the fear of what I'm missing in the world won't go away

I need to branch out
I gotta I make a change
And search until I find a place my name ain't everything

My bags are packed
Said my goodbyes
A plane is taking off tonight
Never gonna know if I don't try
Wheels are down
On brand new ground
I feel alive, and I hear the sound
Cheers, to starting a new life

I made it to place, where the biggest news is more
Than who's having a baby, and who might get a divorce
No one thinks they know me from the stories they've been told
I don't have to think twice 'bout the hands I wanna hold

A thousand other people, on any given train
Here I'm just a another stranger, and my name don't mean a thing

I love the fast pace, but sometimes I miss the place
Where nobody's a stranger, and my name means everything

I might live far away
At the end of the day
I know just where I came from, and my name ain't gonna change
