ONE BAG AND A GUITAR nova music nova originals

Five in the morning, Bus station light, A sleepy little town Still holding onto night. One backpack on my shoulder, Old guitar in my hand, A heart full of questions And a half-forgotten plan. The road is waiting, The engine starts to roar, And everything I've ever known Is standing at the door. One bag and a guitar, That's all I really own. One bag and a guitar, And a dream that's pulling me from home. I don't know where this highway ends, I don't know how far I'll go. But one bag and a guitar Is enough to follow hope. Mama tried smiling, Though tears were in her eyes. Dad said, "Don't forget who you are," Then quietly said goodbye. The fields began to disappear, The town became a dot, And every mile behind me Was a piece of what I'm not. The world gets bigger With every passing sign. And somewhere in the distance, A new life waits for mine. One bag and a guitar, That's all I really own. One bag and a guitar, And a dream that's pulling me from home. I don't know where this highway ends, I don't know how far I'll go. But one bag and a guitar Is enough to follow hope. No turning back now, The sun is climbing high. The city's getting closer With every mile gone by. Maybe I'll make it, Maybe I'll fall apart. But I'd rather chase tomorrow Than betray my own heart. Everybody loves a dream... Until it's time to leave. Everybody says "believe"... Until you actually do. And maybe that's the price. Maybe that's the test. To carry everything you need... Inside your chest. One bag and a guitar, That's all I really own. One bag and a guitar, And a dream that's stronger than I've known. One day I'll play these songs Beneath a thousand lights. One day they'll sing along To the words I write tonight. One bag and a guitar, That's how every story starts. One road, one dream, One fearless heart. The highway rolls on... The city grows near... And somewhere ahead... My song is waiting... ``
