lyrics

There was a time where I lived on a street
Where the lights made lily pads in the dark for us to meet
It was a time we would meet out at the curb
Enjoy the freedom that two wheels gave to our tiny contained world
But in time life broke the peace
I had to leave picked up and moved into a dream
I found myself in a little town off a dirt road
Nothing left to do but grieve

There was a time where that countryside belongs
Forty years before I first laid eyes on my new home
It was a time selective memories adore
A golden age that gives hope to those the future will ignore
But in time as I hid behind my door
I watched the days tick by each so similar to those before
As I found myself in a little town off a dirt road
Where time was nothing more

There was a time where I struggled to find my way
Lonely amongst a thousand smiles that haunt me to this day
It was a time that music helped endure
Even if the songs were written in some book down at the church
But in time that comfort was off-key
Because kids are mean they told me I couldn't sing
In that little town just off a dirt road
When I found myself in this little town off a dirt road
And I'm choking down a scream

How did I land so far away
What kind of dream could be so real
While numbing away the pain
How do I build these walls that land in my own way
I can't believe the choice that life stole that day

That I found myself in a little town off a dirt road
When I found myself in little town off a dirt road
Someday I'll free myself from this little town off a dirt road
As soon as I find my way
