about
I co-wrote this song with the amazing writer/producer - Stephen Leiweke in Nashville, TN back in 2019. We wrote the whole song in 40 minutes, it was one of those inspiring/magical moments. He played, I sang and the lyrics all came falling out.
lyrics
V1:
Sometimes I wonder how to do this now
When you stopped me in my tracks I found, all those years of independence drowned.
Sometimes, I wish that you could come with me, to see the woman of your dreams, taking on this brand new town.
Pre chorus:
But I have to go, I have so much to say
Kiss me goodbye, when I step on that train
Chorus:
I’ll make you proud, leap off the ground out there
I’ll sing to crowds, I’ll make it loud so you can hear
I’ll run around, just like a dancing chair
Walk with my heart until I start to wear and tear
Then I’ll come home to all the little things we have, back to our land.
V2:
These days, have been a little harder than
The ones when I was super young
Now I’m all dressed up in fear
They say, keep on going while you can
Throw off your clothes and take a chance
There’s only one life for us to play
Pre chorus:
But I have to go, I have so much to say
Kiss me goodbye, when I step on that train
Chorus:
I’ll make you proud, leap off the ground out there
I’ll sing to crowds, I’ll make it loud so you can hear
I’ll run around, just like a dancing chair
Walk with my heart until I start to wear and tear
Then I’ll come home to all the little things we have, back to our land.
