lyrics

I left in the summer and said my goodbyes
And I held my Mother with tears in her eyes
and I promised her I wouldn't be long
I left in the summer whit holes in my jeans
Two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of beam
with the sun in my face and a west wind blowing at my back

Some say that life's about payin your dues
Well what do you do when your born to loose
Some say you get a little help from your friends
Well what do you do when you can't make amends
If you have to leave now where will you go
What songs will you sing and why seeds will you sew
If you make the wrong choice how will you know
well there's not turning back now

I left in the Summer with my head full of dreams
Ready to watch them come apart at the seems
Ready to watch all my nights turn black
I left in the summer with my head in the air
to dumb for schooling and to young to care
wondering where all my money had gone

Some say that life's about payin your dues
Well what do you do when your born to loose
Some say you get a little help from your friends
Well what do you do when you can't make amends
If you have to leave now where will you go
What songs will you sing and why seeds will you sew
If you make the wrong choice how will you know
well there's not turning back now
