Time Well Spent

I said I want to go back home
And I heard: "Son, that ain't never been a thing. That's for men who find the right girl and settle her down with the wedding ring
You'll still be running around with those questions in your head
As long as you don't stop living before you're dead
You'll turn around and 25 years have came and went. Keep chasing your dreams, It's time well spent."
I said I'm missing y'all's lives. I heard: "Son, you can't change a goddamn thing". But, I miss the South in my own voice, and the sound of cicadas when they sing. "Well, you would've never of left if you had another choice, but a small southern town won't give two poor boys a voice. You'll turn around and 45 years have came and went
Keep telling your truth it's time we spent."
I said I want to go back home, as I lean face-first in the frozen, bitter wind. Yeah, then I wonder to myself, will I ever really feel that way again. What if things falling apart is a gift, and a chance to grow?
I guess you can't really call it living if you don't know that you'll turn around and 55 years have came and went. Keep chasing your dreams, it's time well spent
I said I want to go back home. I heard: "Son, that ain't never been a thing."
