New Life by Trevor James from United States

went and sold everything that i own
erased the name i scribbled down on my front porch door
got some money, let’s see how far it can take me
catch me running like a boy in these streets
a new life for me

pulling up in the pitch black night, to fill my ride
a stranger says “don’t go driving son with that
far look in your eye.”
sit and listen to the engine gently hum
look out baby ‘cause here i come
a new life for me

scars in secret places
locks to hidden doors
burning down the traces
of the spaces held before

rushing through the madness
before the sadness takes its hold
i won’t be coming back this way again
my friend

lonely street filled with desperate people
i say a prayer for all lost souls still searching on
the faster i drive the more i feel in control
the faster i drive the more i feel my soul
a new life
