Ted Jensen - I Remember lyrics

[Verse 1] I'd never wish any of this on anyone or anything Aw come on, you gotta try and look at things like me I never needed anything I got I never keep anything I have, what do I have? Mostly things that'll never last [Bridge] Then I think back... [Chorus] I remember when I first saw the country I remember sleeping in the van Said goodbye to friends and family cause they could never understand I remember jumping off of cliff tops I remember playing with no one there Yeah I knew if I became successful it wouldn't change who I am cause where I've been Cause where I've been [Verse 2] They wonder why I hide myself from everyone From everything, man come on You wouldn't last a day as me Everyone loves me for my past, but they always hate me in the present Why can't you just meet me somewhere in the middle? It's in the hardest times we grow the most [Chorus] [Verse 3] Speeding up, to slow down Side glances around this crowd all at me There must be something I can't see, so tell me Hold me up, help me out As I circle around what makes me happy There isn't one place that I can be without leaving This is my life [Pre-Outro] I remember when I first saw the country I remember sleeping in the van Said goodbye to friends and family, they could never understand They don't understand They don't understand [Outro] I remember jumping off of cliff tops I remember playing with no one there Yeah I knew if I became successful it wouldn't change who I am I remember the coast of California I remember trucks stops cross the land Never kept too many idols cause we were busy being them I remember waking up in Georgia. I remember quitting my last job Yeah I knew if I became successful it wouldn't change who I was, where I've been Cause where I've been
