Song Description

Deciding to make positive changes in your life due to past mistakes.

Lyrics

Stars are shining bright tonight, the moon lights up the road,
what waits for me for me around the bend?
Passing through these sleepy towns reminds me where I've been.
One thing I'm certain of, I won't go back again.

I'm leaving my old life behind, looking for a new place where my light will shine.

My old life made me what I am today.
Scars I have came with a price and lessons that I've learned
came from my old life.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

So tired of always working in that damned nowhere town,
a thought occurred to me one day,
I'd get unemployment if the lumber mill burned down.
How the fire started, I couldn't say.

But I left my old life behind, found myself a new place where my light will shine.

My old life made me what I am today.
Scars I have came with a price and lessons that I've learned
came from my old life.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,

Listening to some preacher in the county sheriff's car,
it sounds like he knows where I've been.
He's got me thinking and I know I must repent,
If I trust Jesus he will wash away my sin.

I'm leaving my old life behind; I found a new place where my light will shine.

My old life made me what I am today.
Scars I have came with a price and lessons that I've learned
came from my old life. My old life.
