easier

easier

thought i was in love
so i packed my life into a bag
i kissed my mother goodbye
and let go of all i had
moved across the country
to make a life out by the bay
but something was missing
i had to leave to find my way

moved back to georgia
my tail between my legs
with everything that had happened
running through my head
just another southern boy
dreamed of nights in nyc
so i left the south again
for the big city

sometimes it's easier
when you're on your own
you can follow life
down that dusty road
sometimes it's easier
when you don't ask for help
and you make it on your own
all by yourself

found a place in brooklyn
and though it wasn't big
it gave me enough room
to spread my wings and live
so i finally made peace
with the present and past
i've come a long way
i just hope all this lasts

so now i sit back
with city lights in my eyes
got my life where i wanted
much more than i realized
it's kinda funny
now when i look back
to know where i started
and to look where i'm at
