Lyrics
You can't recognize my face 'cuz I have changed
You don't recognize my hands 'cuz I have grown
I'm not the same old someone you knew
And the day is new
It's so hard to leave this simple town
This is where I'm from, there's only one way out
And the southbound train is coming to a slow
I can do this on my own
I'm becoming who I've been wanting to be
And dare the cliché, my whole life's in front of me, in front of me
I'm finding out just where I belong
Before the chance is gone
It's so hard to leave this simple town
This is where I'm from, there's only one way out
And the southbound train is coming to a slow
I can do this on my own
One foot up, then the other. Stepping on the train, I think I'm ready now
It's so hard to say goodbye when all your memories sit and watch you leave
But it's a big wide world out there and it's time to fly
It's so hard to leave this simple town
This is where I'm from, there's only one way out
And my southbound train is starting to roll
I can do this on my own
It's so hard to leave this simple town
This is where I'm from, there's only one way out
And my southbound train is starting to roll
I can do this on my own
I can do this on my own
I'm gonna do this on my own
