well the first that i went out on my own
i was a young man almost seventeen right down to the day
well i packed up all my things
i grabbed my bag and kissed my mother
and i told her that i'd be back some day

so i jumped into the back of an 18-wheeler
headed north destination did not even ask
with the wisdom that my father gave me
ringin in my head so clearly
"son, this world's gonna kick you in the ass"

[Chorus]
i wanna go there
and i'm not scared
our time's just begun, oh yeah
life goes by so damn quickly for me
wanna have some fun

now lookin back on the all the days gone by
i said "i wonder what it would be like if i'd never went away"
well i see the world the way i do
the memories that brought me to
this place that i now call my home today

[Chorus]
i wanna go there
and i'm not scared
our time's just begun, oh yeah
life goes by so damn quickly for me
wanna have some fun
life goes by so damn quickly for me
wanna have some fun

So be in my head
when i feel my whole world falls apart
in the end i'll be alright, alright yeah yeah
