lyrics

I dreamed about a new path
then woke up to walk the old.
So I set off to find something that’s new.
I climbed the tallest mountain
to see the lowlands all around.
There’s a million way to the top
But it’s the same damn view.

So walk away when you can
from a life that you can’t stand.
You’re the author of your own catastrophe.
Just take it for all it’s worth
all the joy and all the hurt.
Or else where you are is where you’re going to peak.

Livin’ is a gamble baby and
lovin’s much the same.
But, Mr. Simon let the blues run his own game.
When the coin is flipped
no matter how it hits the ground,
it’s a bet you can’t make without your chips down.

So walk away when you can
when you’ve been dealt a shitty hand.
You’re the author of your own catastrophe.
Take it for all it’s worth.
It might be gold it might be dirt
but, livin’ costs too much if you ain’t free.

I took a trip back home
to see how far I’ve teally come.
It’s clear to me that I’m my fathers son.
No matter how much luck you have,
or what you think you’re owed,
life finds a way to keep you on the run.

So walk away when you can
but keep in touch with your old man.
You’re the author of your own catastrophe.
Just take for all it’s worth,
cause who you are ain’t your work,
and where you are is where you want to be.

Walk away when you can
from a life that you can’t stand.
You’re the author of your own catastrophe.
Just take it for all it’s worth
all the gold and all the dirt.
Cause livin’ costs too much if you ain’t free.
