Twenty Years Ago

Well I gone out west for open skies Hopped a Greyhound bound for Californ-e-i Left my mom and dad behind Sister and brother gonna be just fine Snow rained down on the transit station Those dogs lined up for their destination Said see ya soon and held them tight I shed that skin before daylight High desert sky lets me in The ocean lets me start all over Like a lover, I can lean on Everything that held me back is gone This is a song about leaving home Everything I've ever known Gonna start something of my own Searching for roads to call my own That east coast light still on my mind I left it but didn't leave it behind Part of me is still in that little town In a bus station with the snow coming down I don't know much but this much I know I'm gonna miss you so Doesn't seem so long ago That was twenty years ago Doesn't seem so long ago That was twenty years ago Doesn't seem so long ago That was twenty years ago
