[Verse 1]

I take an early morning stroll down on black rock sands

Kicking my heels Darjeeling steaming in my hand

I think to myself what do I really need?

I need the top of the morning, the end of the day

And all that's in between going my own way

Sun punching through the clouds just to kiss upon a mountain top


[Bridge]

Look at what we’ve done, what have we become?


[Chorus]

I’m gonna take a step back

I’m gonna lay my hat

Everywhere I go

I’m gonna take to the road

I’m gonna make it my home


[Verse 2]

And now here come the raindrops tapping on my tin top

Like my chains, I watch the tide roll away

No more shutting me out, flagging me down

Wild goosing around, I think it's time I took the reigns

I need to revel in times impromptu, dodge man-made career

Travel the world adventure, take my songs to virgin ears

Now hands up sheriff, I’m taking a stroll


[Bridge]

Look at what you've done, look what I've become


[Chorus]

I’m gonna take a step back

I’m gonna lay my hat

Everywhere I go

I’m gonna take to the road

I’m gonna make it my home


[Verse 3]

I won't fight for your dream anymore

I won't stagnate while you walk through the doors

I’m not wrapped around no one's finger anymore


[Chorus]

I’m gonna take a step back

I’m gonna lay my hat

Everywhere I go

I’m gonna take to the road

I’m gonna make it my home

I’m gonna take a step back

I’m gonna lay my hat

Everywhere I go

I’m gonna take to the road

I’m gonna make it my home
