I remember

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

Then I think back...

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

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

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

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

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

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
