I guess this came from a buried wanderlust in me and the realization of everything you give up for that freedom.

lyrics

These Old Shoes © 2014

Sometimes I think its time
To settle down
No more roaming, town to town
People would know my name
Where I live and from where I came
And when I pass you by
We could just say “Hi, How ya doin”
Sometimes I think it's time
To settle down

Chorus
But these old shoes have to roam
Taking me back to my country roads
To places I've never been
Something around the bend
Keeps calling me
These old shoes, are taking me home

Sometimes I dream
Of a piece of land
In that valley, where I camp
Let my roots take hold
I would build a home
With my hands
Sometimes I wish I had
That piece of land
*Chorus

Sometimes this lonesome life
Gets to me
And my heart echoes this empty beat
And by the campfire light
I think about a wife, a family
Sometimes this lonesome life
Gets to me
*Chorus

These old shoes, are taking me home
