I left the house and never looked back
All my belongings thrown in a rucksack
My eyes stinging from all the tears
First time alone for so many years
No idea of where I should go
But I'm moving fast no time for slow
Life's too short to waste any time
Start again this futures all mine
Jump in my car and roar off the drive
A feeling of dread but I'll survive
End of the road,turn left or right?
Tank full of fuel to drive through the night
Suddenly a thought occurred to me
I can go where I want,I'll head for the sea
Not sure what I will do once i'm there
But at this moment I really don't care.
