I packed my bags on monday I was at the bank by noon
I took out all my money I went looking for some place new
cuz this old town has robbed me and left me on the ground
all I am is forgotten to them so I may as well not be around
so I'm gonna go where a real wind blows where no one knows my name
my guitars packed in my pick up truck I'm on the road of leaving shame
and oh I'll leave it all behind
and oh I don't know what I'll find
anythings better than my old life thats why I left it all behind
I'm on the road to better times
I pulled up to this new town and went straight to the saloon
I picked up this old guitar and I started to play my tune
no one knew who I was they didn't even know my name
they just sat back and listened to me play the road of leaving shame
and oh I'll leave it all behind
and oh I don't know what I'll find
anythings better than my old life thats why I left it all behind
I'm on the road to better times
I hang out with my new friends as they listen to the stories I tell
I talk about my old town and how living there really felt
maybe its because I was a little bit crazy they judged me like a fool
maybe its because I never fit in not even with my parents too
but if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be the man I am
singing songs for all of y'all about the town that left me out
oh I'll leave it all behind
oh I don't know what I'll find
anythings better than my old life thats why I left it all behind
I'm on the road to better times
