Lyrics
Verse 1
Moving on is never easy
But you finally had to try
Down the road and chilly breeze is a blowing
And the wind wipes the tears from my eyes
All I had was empty pockets
You had an empty suitcase by the side of the road
You traveled trying to find a life you thought was better
I was traveling just to find where it would go
Chorus
When I look back, when I look back
I see a field of dreams that burns
Am I the man who finally bends
Of the fool who never learns
Verse 2
You know when you're starting out with nothing
There's no need for a disguise
The more you gain in life the more you have to lose
I guess that's why I never tried
Looking back you need a mirror
Mine got broke 7 long years ago
Is it my time to see a change for the better
I'm not sure I'll ever know
Chorus
