Pieces Of My Heart

(Album: Train Track Worktapes - 2023)

I grew up thinking you work hard to be a doctor or a lawyer
Get married, have some babies, and plant your roots down in the ground
But I turned all that upside down
I'm in a traveling band
Playing music on a stage
We run down the highway in a van
See where the dream takes us today

I keep leaving pieces of my heart
In all these towns that feel like home
I can't help that I'm a traveler
It's in my veins, it's in my bones
I'm not afraid to stop, it's just that I was born to go
I know that I'll see you again down the road

I fit my whole life in a suitcase, and I carry my guitar
And all these songs inside my head
They are my flashlight in the dark
Bring me back when I drift too far
There's so much I wanna see
So many places left to go
I don't wanna miss a thing
So, I keep watching out the window

I keep leaving pieces of my heart
In all these towns that feel like home
I can't help that I'm a traveler
It's in my veins, it's in my bones
I'm not afraid to stop, it's just that I was born to go
I know that I'll see you again down the road

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

I keep leaving pieces of my heart
In all these towns that feel like home
I can't help that I'm a traveler
It's in my veins, it's in my bones
I'm not afraid to stop, it's just that I was born to go
I know that I'll see you again down the road, yeah

I keep leaving pieces of my heart
In all these towns that feel like home
I leave it up there on that hook, just hanging like a coat
So, if you find it and you're cold, well, put it on and say "hello"
I know that I'll see you again down the road
I know that I'll see you again down the road, yeah

I keep leaving pieces of my heart down the road
