I'd never wish any of this on anyone or anything.
Aw come on, you gotta try and look at things like me.
I never needed anything I got,
I never keep anything I have, what do I have?
Mostly things that'll never last.
Then I think back...
CHORUS
[F]I remember when I first saw the co[C]untry.
I remember sle[Am]eping in the v[G]an.
Sa[F]id goodbye to friends and fa[C]mily cause they c[Am]ould never unde[G]rstand.
I remember ju[F]mping off of c[C]liff tops.
I remember pl[Am]aying with no one th[G]ere.
Yeah I knew if I be[F]came suc[C]cessful it wouldn't ch[Am]ange who I [G]am
cause where I've been.
Cause where I've been.

(1:05-1:35)
They wonder why I hide myself from everyone,
from everything, man come on.
You wouldn't last a day as me.
Everyone loves me for my past, but they always hate me in the present.
Why can't you just meet me somewhere in the middle?
It's in the hardest times we grow the most.

Speeding up, to slow down.
Side glances around this crowd all at me.
There must be something I can't see, so tell me.
Hold me up, help me out.
As I circle around what makes me happy.
There isn't one place that I can be without leaving.
This is my life.
CHORUS Clean-distortion
I remember when I first saw the country.
I remember sleeping in the van.
Said goodbye to friends and family, they could never understand.
They don't understand.
They don't understand.

I remember jumping off of cliff tops.
I remember pl[Am]aying with no one th[G]ere.
Yeah I knew if I be[F]came succ[C]essful it wouldn't ch[Am]ange who I [G]am.
I remember the co[F]ast of Cali[C]fornia.
I remember tr[Am]ucks stops cross the l[G]ands.
F c Am G
Never kept too many idols cause we were busy being them.
I remember wa[F]king up in Ge[C]orgia. I remember qui[Am]tting my last j[G]ob.
