lyrics
Starting Over
Two years ago
I thought I’d settle down
but instead
I had a nervous breakdown
I had moved back home
with my family
but Northern Virginia
wasn’t my scene
So I’s about to leave
when I met a lady
she really loved me
’til I went crazy
love moved too fast
for my emotions
lesson learned
I’m starting over again
I’m starting over, making a new life
I found my place, I am taking a stand
gonna grow my roots I am a new man
technically
she was still married
she was getting a divorce
but it still bothered me
we broke up
and it broke my heart and my head
so I packed my van
and I headed back west
To California
where the weather is great
the sun is shining
almost everyday [in this golden state]
Losing that girl
taught me how to be a man
lesson learned
I’m starting over again
I’m starting over, making a new life
I found my place, I am taking a stand
gonna grow my roots I am a new man
I miss people
and places from my past
their memory’s in my heart
where they will last
Sometimes I think
I’m running out of time,
I bought groceries
with my last dime
but at least I've got
this gold sunshine
everyday here feels like
summertime
Now I know
the place to be is where I am
lesson learned
I’m starting over again
I’m starting over, making a new life
I found my place, I am taking a stand
gonna grow my roots I am a new man

Heaven Among The Hills
