[Where Will I Go]

I've been makin' up songs since I was 19 years old My first song was about money I hated it, when I was 19 years old Thought it tore my family apart My next song was about being a bus boy 'Cause I was a bus boy And that sent me down to an open mic My friend said, "Go sing at an open mic" And when I got to the open mic I realized I think that this is what I wanted to do I didn't know that I could but I knew That I just wanted to chase songs around And if, if I could find a way to pull it of And get away with it I would be enterally grateful you know More, I feel more now than ever lucky to be travellin' around I went on tour '94 and we didn't stop 'til the pandemic This is my second tour, I'm on right now And I nevеr stop gettin' into chasing songs around And there's onе song I never could let go of I was at 22 years old when this girl That I'm still friends with but she broke up with me And in music, that means you're homeless And as I was driving away I decided to change towns completely So I packed up and I drove to Memphis And on my way where there I was thinking of this song called "Where Will I Go Now That I'm Gone" And I never finished it but I figured I would someday And I never gave up on it either And I kept workin' on it for years Then right up until 'bout three or four years ago This magic night in the hotel I just pulled my guitar out And I was strumming a little bit And I thought you know My motto has always been, "When in doubt, give up" So, right, that works, it's always worked for me So I said, "Why am I chasin' this song like this?" And then, as soon as I had that thought I got an idea for the song I'm gonna play you now Um, I never did finish that other one I don't know if I will But this song is about that song that I was just telling you
