The Road Home

I'm tired of running, I'm gonna change my name
Get a place up in Canada and watch the sun go down
From my front porch

My old man always said it was the best I'd ever do, but he was
A sad and bitter man who didn't know half of what I knew
And when the time had come, we didn't say much
I just set out to prove

That I could make a fortune, wouldn't even have to try
Never have to settle down, never get stuck
In one place and time
But I'm so tired of running, I'm gonna change my name

I knew some good people along the way, some I truly cared for
A lot of them I let down, the others I just left behind

Never threw a fit I couldn't justify with booze
Chose a lot of things I thought I'd never choose, like losing you
Too stubborn and sick and proud to come through
And finally knew

That I don't need a fortune, I don't even want to try
My old man only wanted to settle down, watch the sun go down
And have his place in time
And I'm so tired of running, I'm gonna change my name
