Packed my bags, load up the car
Goodbye, I'm leaving home
I've left to find a place where I
Can reap what I have sewn
I look around and reminisce
Find reasons I could stay
But in the end, I risk it all
And throw my past away
My search for love, or I had thought
Had been easier than most
I'd found a girl, and with her
I'd traveled down the coast
But in short time, we both found out
That life had other plans
And now alone, I travel on
On red-hot, burning sands
Emotions that have been pushed down
Now rise up once again
I try to make these songs relate
With countless other men
But I, alone, can speak for what
Has troubled me today
And I will sing my songs for you
I'll feel them, anyway
