When I Left Home - Devon Allman

I LEFT HOME WHEN I WAS REAL YOUNG

WENT UP TO NEW YORK CITY

LEFT A GIRL I LOVED IN THE REAR VIEW

WENT OFF TO CHASE MY DREAMS

I THOUGHT I’D BE SOME ROCK STAR

HAVE 50 PEOPLE WORKING FOR ME

JUST WANTED TO PLAY ON MY GUITAR

JUST LIKE MY FAMILY BEFORE ME

20 YEARS LATER, YOU KNOW, I’M STILL KICKIN' AROUND

NEVER THOUGHT I’D AMOUNT TO MUCH

OR BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN

WHEN I LEFT HOME

WHEN I LEFT HOME, WHEN I LEFT HOME

HAD A BAND DOWN IN MEMPHIS

I PLAYED L.A. ON THE STRIP

GOT REAL CLOSE TO THE BRASS RING

THEN GOT MARRIED AND HAD A KID

GAVE UP THE DREAM JUST FOR A WHILE

TO BE A DAD

HE WENT OFF TO SCHOOL, I WENT OUT ON TOUR

PUT A COUPLE THOUSAND GIGS BEHIND ME

20 YEARS FROM NOW I HOPE I’M STILL KICKIN' AROUND

AND I WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING 'CAUSE IT GOT ME HERE NOW
