I'm optimistic where I'm headed
But I'm grateful for where I've been
I watch the changing seasons
Blowing in the wind
Arriving In the promise land
With both feet on the ground
I never thought that I could be set free
From the walls of that Marlboro Town
A calling is what kept me
And a calling sent me on
A greater purpose unveiling
But I still wish I were their son
Even though times are changing
And from them I hear no sound
I never thought that I could be set free
From the walls of that Marlboro Town
I hold on to all the good I've learned
Everything else I let go
I'm amazed at all the foolishness
But when it's taught it's all you know
I thank Jesus everyday
For this truth that I've found
I never thought that I could be set free
From the walls of Marlboro Town
I never thought that I could be set free
From the walls of that dead end town
