I Remember

[Verse 1]

I'd never wish any of this on anyone or anything

Aw come on, you gotta try and look at things like me

I never needed anything I got

I never keep anything I have, what do I have?

Mostly things that'll never last

Then I think back...

[Chorus]

I remember when I first saw the country

I remember sleeping in the van

Said goodbye to friends and family 'cause they could never understand

I remember jumping off of cliff tops

I remember playing with no one there

Yeah, I knew if I became successful, it wouldn't change who I am, 'cause where I've been

'Cause where I've been

[Verse 2]

They wonder why I hide myself from everyone

From everything, man, come on

You wouldn't last a day as me

Everyone loves me for my past, but they always hate me in the present

Why can't you just meet me somewhere in the middle?

It's in the hardest times we grow the most

[Chorus]

I remember when I first saw the country

I remember sleeping in the van

Said goodbye to friends and family 'cause they could never understand

I remember jumping off of cliff tops

I remember playing with no one there

Yeah, I knew if I became successful, it wouldn't change who I am, 'cause where I've been

'Cause where I've been

[Verse 3]

Speeding up, to slow down

Side glances around this crowd all at me

There must be something I can't see, so tell me

Hold me up, help me out

As I circle around what makes me happy

There isn't one place that I can be without leaving

This is my life

[Pre-Outro]

I remember when I first saw the country

I remember sleeping in the van

Said goodbye to friends and family, 'cause they could never understand

They don't understand

They don't understand

[Outro]

I remember jumping off of cliff tops

I remember playing with no one there

Yeah, I knew if I became successful, it wouldn't change who I am

I remember the coast of California

I remember trucks stops cross the land

Never kept too many idols cause we were busy being them

I remember waking up in Georgia (I remember quitting my last job)

Yeah, I knew if I became successful, it wouldn't change who I was, where I've been

'Cause where I've been
