LOTD 10 03 11 – So Close Now

I’ve got the streets memorized. I see the faces embedded in my mind. I can’t keep on fighting the urge go. I’ve got nothing in common with this town I’ve come to know. I am so close now to walking away. About to walk a path I’ve gotta take. I am packing up heading out. I can’t sleep I’m dreaming way too loud. I’m so close now, so close now to getting out.

The same old lines, the same routine .Nothing changes and that’s not good for me. I need a break. I need something new. I need to replace these old worn out broken shoes. I am so close now to walking away. About to walk a path I’ve gotta take. I am packing up heading out. I can’t sleep I’m dreaming way too loud. I’m so close now, so close now to getting out.

I’ve got that truck all loaded down. I should’ve known how hard it’d be leave this town. I am, so close now to walking away. About to walk a path I’ve gotta take. I am packing up heading out. I can’t sleep I’m dreaming way too loud. I’m so close now, so close now to getting out.
