Going Back

Driving down a road that leads in from the east

Wondering what they'll make of his reappearance

Shields his eyes from the glare of the sun

Turns down a track that leads him along

27 years since he left his valley home

Travellin' out west to make his mark alone

Does it really matter, what he's seen or what he's done

If he'd never left this place, who knows what he'd become

He's going back to where it all began

Once a boy, now a man

Crossed some lines in the sand

He's going back to where it all began

He might be a troubadour arriving with a song

He might be a joker just stringing you along

He's got a smile that can warm you to your soul

But he can stare you down, chill you to your bones

He's going back to where it all began

Once a boy, now a man

Crossed some lines in the sand

He's going back to where it all began

Stops on the hill and looks over the rise

Sees the farmhouse down by the creek and the smoke from the fire

Bows his head and draws a deep breath

Slips the car back into gear, hopes for the best

Going back to where it all began

Once a boy, now a man

Crossed some lines in the sand

He's going back to where it all began
