Lyrics

SOMEWHERE BOUND (C)2006 Dennis Long

I loaded up my truck
I quit my job at Sears
To see if life and dreams can intertwine

My Daddy wished me luck
Momma was in tears
But I can't seem to cross that county line

CHORUS:
Should be on my way
I'm running but my feet won't touch the ground
I'll find brighter days
If I could shed the dust from this old town
Could be moving on
But tonight I'm somewhere bound

I'm drinking one last beer
With friends I'm going to miss
I leave to chase my dreams at closing time

I face a new frontier
Still I reminisce
About a hundred would-be dreams I leave behind

CHORUS:
Should be on my way
I'm running but my feet can't touch the ground
I'll find brighter days
If I could shed the dust from this old town
Should be moving on
But tonight I'm somewhere bound

BRIDGE:
Well I'm driving down a road I've never known
Headed way outside my comfort zone
This new life won't come cheap
But I've been half-asleep
For way too long
And it's almost dawn

CHORUS:
Now I'm on my way
Flying so my feet won't drag the ground
Going to miss this place
Looking in the rear view at my town
But I'm moving on
Tonight I'm somewhere bound
