10 years gone by since I left a place called home
You see, I had a dream and it almost washed away like rain
Take time, draw a line to where you wanna go
You got to mainline some love and a little soul

You talk about what it means to me...well, keep talking
Don't you know it's what I wanted to be...and I'm coming

Hey child. Go take all the things you believe in and tell all your friends that you're leaving
Hey child. You got to give it all that you got. You got to get away

Freight train coming, won't you take me away from here You see, I'm tired and I'm looking for a change of scene
Be kind, but don't compromise no matter what they say
You got to try to do right, and make your own way

You talk about what it means to me...keep talking
Don't you know it's what I wanted to be...and I'm coming

Hey child. Go take all the things you believe in and tell all your friends that you're leaving
Hey child. You got to give it all that you got. You got to get away

10 years gone by, and I feel a little old
You see, I had a dream and it almost washed away
