One greyhound bus, one beat-up bag
Kissed my mom goodbye at the station flag
Eighteen years in a one-stop town
Felt too big but I never made a sound
Got a scholarship I barely earned
Had a fire that I hadn't learned
No roadmap, no hand to hold
Just a kid with a story still untold
Let 'em talk, I've got too much to prove
Never stopped believin'
In the kid who packed his bags that June
Now I'm racin' toward a dream I chose
Every bruise, every road I had
Not a drifting dream
These hands built what they've never seen
Not a drifting dream
From the train yard to the in-betweens
Not a drifting dream
I'm future bound and finally free
Bound and finally free
Late night walks in the dorm hall glow
Made some friends who I barely know
Lost my way round the second year
Wrote my mom "I don't think I belong here"
Let 'em talk, I've got too much to prove
Never stopped believin'
In the kid who packed his bags that June
Now I'm racin' toward a dream I chose
Every bruise, every road I had
Now I see the light
Every fall just led me right
Now I see the light
Holdin' on with all my might
Now I see the light
Every fall just led me right
Yeah, I see the light
