Story Behind The Song

The song is partially about my own life.

Song Description

A reflecting on all the places he has been and the lives he has touched and the life he has chosen to lead. He is not meant to be in one place.

Lyrics

As night fall settles in
Stuck here heading north again
Looking for a ride from those behind headlights
I?m hitchin? up state to find my way
Friends up there say I?ve got a place to stay
A job waiting for me a Tucker?s Mill
Another chance for a drifter to stand still

So I?m leaving again
oh I?m leaving again
My thumb to the road
Back to the wind
One step ahead as my world is closing in
I?ll be leaving again

Calling it a night
And taking rest off a dusty roadside
Watching falling stars
And wondering how I lost my way
Making a traveler?s wish
For a life with less regret
Closing my eyes listening to the fire
Holding back the night

Thinking bout? leaving again
Oh I?m leaving again
My thumb to the road
Back to the wind
Leaving for a town where my heart can settle in

Brought my old friend Jack Daniels to Tuckers Mill
Once to often to Mary Bells
Enough of letting her down
I should be moving on
Well I?ve let so many down
When is the answer not the next town
I got a brother in Santa Fe
He said come bye and stay

So I?ll be leaving again
Oh I?m leaving again
Yes I?m leaving again
My thumb to the road
Back to the wind
One step ahead of as world is closing in
I don?t want to leave again
No no again
Leaving again
