about

I once said to someone that my life had been a trail of goodbyes - and immediately followed with, 'There's definitely a song in that!' Like many of my songs, it takes its inspiration from my rather nomadic lifestyle...

lyrics

Trail of Goodbyes

This life’s been a trail of goodbyes,
Born on the road, always lived on the fly,
Ain’t one to stay round too long,
Sooner or later, it’s time to move on.

I’ve travelled the east coast, I’ve lived way out west,
High in the mountains my soul found some rest,
I’ve sprawled in a mansion, scraped by in a shack,
Two years in a trailer I’ll never get back.

This life’s been a trail of goodbyes,
Born on the road, always lived on the fly,
Ain’t one to stay round too long,
Sooner or later, it’s time to move on.

Don’t think I can stay here with you,
Your four-bedroom prison would just never do,
Don’t think that I’ll change in good time,
Let go of that dream and I’ll keep livin’ mine.

Nine-to-fived in the city, relaxed on the coast,
Moved far from all people crushed in way too close,
Explored distant places, six months had no home,
Shared rooms with strangers, struck out on my own.

This life’s been a trail of goodbyes,
Born on the road, always lived on the fly,
Ain’t one to stay round too long,
Sooner or later, it’s time to move on,
Yeah, sooner or later, it’s time to move on.
