lyrics

I want to pick up all the things I've left behind and burn them so I know they're gone
I've got an eye for an open road towards the west coast cause that's where my life began
I'm all set to hit that road
You say you don't want to go

I want to germinate my seeds in Mother Nature's soil and watch them as they grow
Smile as all the leaves die and blanket the ground like coloured snow
And after work I'll rake a pile so you can jump right in and I can see you smile

I want to sit in open fields with all my friends and watch as birds fly by
Point out all the ones I've never seen and that I can identify
With every new commodity
The birds seem more a rarity

Oh, I think I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down
I think I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down
Oh yes, I'm sure now I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down
Oh, I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down

I want to pick up all the things I've left behind and burn them so I know they're gone
I've got an eye for an open road towards the west coast cause that's where my life began
I'm all set to hit that road
You say you don't want to go

Oh, I think I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down
I think I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down
Oh yes, I'm sure now I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down
Oh, I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down

And we're all trapped
No matter how high up you think you're at
We're all trapped
