I made a promise a long time ago
When I was too young on the road
That one day I would sing out loud
Create music that makes me proud
But oh the journey has been tiring
To get back to my heart’s aspiring
When and where I grew up nobody knew
What mattered most was what love grew
I’m tellin’ you all the heartbreaks
That I witnessed and experienced
If I’d had my voice out in the world
It would’ve started over brand new
