Dylan Jakobsen - From Where I Began lyrics

Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots, Stepping on down that highway in these boots, But I don't wanna be another one of what they want, I wanna write the songs I want to, And bust my a** to make it where I am, From where I began I've been a wild horse, I've been a fast train, I've put some miles on this hungry soul of mine, Chasing the night with this gift that I've been given, Of a six string telling every story that I write, When you keep holding on to this thing for a lifetime, Play for tips in bars and strangers pa**ing by, Oh it's taught me everything there is to offer, Yeah it's brought me up to where I stand tonight Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots, Stepping on down that highway in these boots, But I don't wanna be another one of what they want, I wanna write the songs I want to, And bust my a** to make it where I am, From where I began I've been a fighter, And I'll take the last punch, For the things that I believe are what is right, And if you want it, You gotta work hard just to get it, Enough to spark a fire in your eyes Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots, Stepping on down that highway in these boots, But I don't wanna be another one of what they want, I wanna write the songs I want to, And bust my a** to make it where I am, From where I began Well here's to the long drives and the places, Seen a million different faces, From the bars and the basements, To the nightclubs and the stadiums, All the chances that we're taking, And the memories that we're making, For a dream that you've gone chasing Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots, Stepping on down that highway in these boots, But I don't wanna be another one of what they want, I wanna write the songs I want to, And bust my a** to make it where I am, Yeah I'm gon' bust my a** to make it where I am, And hell it just might shape me up a better man, From where I began
