Big Ol' World

(album: Nowhere Near Done - 2020)

Riding round my old hometown tonight
It always felt like a cage I was trapped inside
It weren't the kinda place for chasing dreams
When I was young, I could not wait to leave

I never had no young'ns for myself
My brother raised 4 kids while I raised hell
Out there roaming round this crazy globe
I missed out on the things that mattered most

I was told there's a big ol' world out there
A land of gold with bright lights everywhere
But grander schemes and broken dreams
Came round and made it clear
There's a big ol' world right here
There's a big ol' world right here

Nowadays I'm reminded when I come home
I grew older and jaded, they just grew old
Living a Norman Rockwell kinda life
I like that for me more all the time

I was told there's a big ol' world out there
A land of gold and I was gonna go get my share
But grander schemes and broken dreams
Came round and made it clear
There's a big ol' world right here
There's a big ol' world right here

Riding round my old hometown tonight
I can wait [?] rest of my life
