This song, one of the first I ever wrote, is about a feeling that will be understood by anyone from a small town. That feeling of being stuck and wanting to get out. A need to leave, but knowing, deep down, that you'll always want to come back, because its Home.

lyrics

*Verse 1*
Fire in my belly, bellows in my heart,
map in my head but I don’t know where it starts.
Heart beating in my chest, two feet on solid ground.
Everything I need why am I still hangin’ round this small town.

Sun keeps on shining, wind, she’s gonna blow.
Open up my sails and get ready to go.

*Chorus 1*
Oh, well I’m bound for a place where I don’t recognize the sound.
Surrounded by four horizons I’ve never seen before.

*Verse 2*
Don’t know where I’m going’, know exactly where I’ve been.
Born and raised and workin’ in this city that I’m in.
All my roots are buried here, dear friends and family.
But my lungs are full of fog and I’ve grown sick of industry.

*Chorus 2*
Soon I’ll wander, find new ground to pound my feet on.
Free to wonder, no place to go, no one to see.
I might sleep under nothin’ but the open sky
and then someday I will turn around, retrace my steps and be
so glad to come home again.

*Verse 3*
Don’t know what I’m looking for, I don’t know what I’ll find.
Know that I won’t see it here with too much on my mind.
Won’t have to go too far away, don’t need a lot with me.
What I can carry on my back, a smile, good company.

*Chorus 1*
