Lyrics
He was gonna hop a train to Madison leavin' town tonight. He planned on leavin' everything if it'd make him feel alright. His wife and kids would be left behind, it seemed the only way. He might start up a brand new life or dissapear along the way.
Sometimes I wanna leave this place before I let you down. I can see the plan plain and simple but I dare not speak it aloud. One day I'll just pack up and ramble up and on outta this town.
He was a hard working country boy born and raised in Illinois. He moved to California and learned to live with all the noise. He loved a girl long distance, went to visit for a spell. She left him out in Georgia with his heart shot all to hell...
Maybe I'll take a train, maybe I'll take a car.
Maybe I'll take a plane, fly to right where you are.
Maybe I'll wander off, get lost out in the rain.
Anything at all to run from all of this.
I always was the quiet one I'd sit and listen to your thoughts. Did you ever stop to think about the kinda things I saw? Everybody needs to have a place, a spot that they call home. Even with friends and family some of us still have to roam...
