Leaving Normal
It's been a long time since I've seen the high planes of expectation And I'm way past the lowlands and the deserts of failure and doubt And the last time I passed through satisfaction I been lookin' as a single soul there Now I'm leaving normal and I'm heading for who knows where
'Excuse me mister, is that seat taken, can I put my bag over here You know this trip would go a whole lot smoother If you take your hand from there' No, I'm not from around here and my name's not 'Little Darling' Why is there one in every crowd and why do I attract them?
Funny how the smell of a greyhound bus now smells like a fresh start to me And now the sound of the steel belts on the blacktop Is now the sound of breaking free But I'd trade all those canceled tickets for a single return fair to a station With a loved one waiting there
I've finally learned that there's good and bad Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And that a girl can do some choosing Of that I'm glad 'cause this hardened face won't take any more bruising
Yeah, and the next time I fall into another's arms There's one thing of which I'll be certain That you can bear the weight of the love I give Without considering it a burden
It's been a long time since I've seen the high planes of expectation And I'm way past the lowlands and the deserts of failure and doubt And the last time I passed through satisfaction I felt like a stranger there And now I'm leaving normal and I'm heading for who knows where
Now I'm leaving normal wherever I'm heading Well, I don't care
