about

I come from a small town. This is a song about running around as a small kid in a small town, dreaming big.

lyrics

Well, I felt like a big-city kid
back in the days of the Sun
Gone are those nights
we ran out of breath
and still run.

Changing with every breath
I felt like a big-city kid
but now all us kings of the world
can't even get together

But Spring will come again
and the ice will melt off your shoulder.

I felt like a big-shot, big-city kid
back in the days of the Sun
gone are those nights
we ran out of breath
and still run

But Spring will come again
and the ice will melt off your shoulder

Days fade
we've come a long way

We've come a long way.
