lyrics

WHERE I'M HEADING
Shannon Dobbs / Radney Foster

I gotta Dagwood sandwich worth of PTSD
And all my troubles keep following me
It all started when I called the cops at eleven
I ain’t gonna fly away to get where I’m heading
Mama just said I’ll see you soon
Bought a one-way ticket down to military school

It’s a great big story
But I’m writing new chapters
I keep getting knocked down
But I’m learning from the laughter
You know it’s my choice to stay
So, I ain’t gonna run away
No, I ain’t gonna fly away to get where I’m heading

Trying to make a difference, trying to sing my song
But there’s a hundred-forty-seven ways to get this wrong
Corruption rots the ground right out from underneath your feet
They took everything they could and it all tumbled down on me
I gotta find a new way to get where I want to be

It’s a great big story
But I’m writing new chapters
I keep getting knocked down
But I’m learning from the laughter
You know it’s my choice to stay
So, I ain’t gonna run away
No, I ain’t gonna fly away to get where I’m heading

I’m coming up with a brand new plan
Reaching out with my heart and hands
To bring us all together to feed our families.

It’s a great big story
But I’m writing new chapters
I keep getting knocked down
But I’m learning from the laughter
You know it’s my choice to stay
So, I ain’t gonna run away
No, I ain’t gonna fly away to get where I’m heading
