On My Way 04:29
My life loaded in my car Wanderlust in my heart Ready for a fresh new start I'll try to find peace of mind far away So I'll drive through the night on my way Living life adventurously Keeping light and keeping free, untamed Feeling young and having fun Running from the rising sun, unchained With so many ways to live a life How could I settle for only one With so many ways to live a life How could I settle for only one I miss all my friends from home Time has passed, they have grown Now my time has come to go So far away, out of state, out of mind The landscapes slowly change as do I Living life adventurously Keeping light and keeping free, untamed Feeling young and having fun Running from the rising sun, unchained With so many ways to live a life How could I settle for only one With so many ways to live a life How could I settle for only one With so many ways to live a life How could I settle for only one With so many ways to live a life How could I settle for only one Got to get away, got to get away, got to get away, got to get away Oh so far away, oh so far away Got to get away, got to get away, got to get away, want to get away Oh so far away, oh so far away Got to get away, got to get away, got to get away, got to get away Oh so far away, oh so far away Someday

Fly On 03:34
Fly on, fly on Thirty thousand feet above the sea Is where I'd like to be Rocketing toward a distant land Somewhere I've never seen I'm sure my job can wait I'd only ever turn up late So I'll fly on, on fragile wings Always chasing the dawn So I'll fly on, in lieu of keeping things Through failing darkness I'll keep chasing the sun Fly on, fly on Fly on, fly on Thirty thousand feet above the sea Above the moonlit clouds Any waves are all too small to see Above these heavenly clouds The Joneses can go to hell For them it would be just as well I'm not okay with Bernaysian ways To live as a serf to debt I'd rather fly on fragile wings Like a wayward seabird chasing the dawn Fly on, fly on Fly on, fly on Fly on, fly on Fly on, fly on Never stop chasing the sun

Think Of You 04:05
Still I think of you sometimes When I feel alone Still I think of you sometimes When I'll think of home The further I've traveled The less I've known The harder I've travailed The less I've grown By the time I heard all your sighs You had flown By the lines beside my blue eyes Could you see I've grown Will you think of me sometimes When you feel alone Will you think of me sometimes When you'll think of home And as you ponder the road ahead Don't be afraid if you made a wrong turn Still it would always be good to remember Try hard as you might, you can't out run yourself Still I think of you sometimes When I feel alone Will you think of me sometimes When you'll think of home Will you think of me sometimes Will you think of me sometimes Will you think of me sometimes Will you think of me sometimes Still I'll think of you sometimes Will you think of me sometimes Will you think of me sometimes

Home Again 04:12
There at the day's end When the light starts to fail The sun replaced by headlamps We'll be on our way Home again, home again We'll be on our way Home again, home again We'll be on our way Home again, home again We'll be on our way Home again, home again Distracted by sirens I nearly lost my way Flashing lights all burning Holes in the mundane grey Do you know your way home Like I know my way home Home again Going home again Home again I'm going home Though it feels it's been ages And in spite of all the changes Following a worn road I know I'm on my way Home again, home again I'm on my way Home again, home again I'm on my way Home again, I'm going home
