Where I'm Coming From

Look at Mr. Born To Run

Think this town ain't big enough for you

I know I'm just your grandpa, but

Don't forget I was your age once too

To know the good you got, sometimes you gotta go

You think you hate it here but trust me, boy, you don't

It might take you a couple more trips around the sun

But one day, you'll find out

There's a lot more to a simple life than you thought it was

Sometimes, it takes a town

To raise you, to make you what you're made of

When it's time to settle down

Plant roots and when you do, you'll know where I'm comin' from

And you'll come back around

Well, look at Mr. All Grown Up

Blinked an eye and the years added up

I'm seein' more me in you

Pavin' your own road runs in your blood

I'd never tell you not to do the things you love

But what you're chasin' now won't always be enough, oh

It might take you a couple more trips around the sun

But one day, you'll find out

There's a lot more to a simple life than you thought it was

Sometimes, it takes a town

To raise you, to make you what you're made of

When it's time to settle down

Plant roots and when you do, you'll know where I'm comin' from

And you'll come back around

Yeah, you'll come back around

Oh

Look at Mr. Born To Run

Missin' you, wishin' he could call you up

Just to hear you tell me that you told me so

It might take me a couple of more trips around the sun

But I've been findin' out

There's a lot more to a simple life than I thought it was

Sometimes, it takes a town

To raise you, to make you what you're made of

When it's time to settle down

Plant roots and when you do, you'll know where I'm comin' from

You'll come back around

Yeah, you will

You'll come back around

Oh, yeah

Plant roots and when you do, you'll know where I'm comin' from
