When I Left Home Songtext
von Devon Allman

I left home when I was real young
Went up to New York City
Left the girl I loved in the rearview
And went off to chase my dream
I thought I′d be some rock star
Have fifty people working for me
Just wanted to play on my guitar
Just like my family before me

Twenty years later, you know I'm still kicking around
Never thought I′d amount to much or be the talk of the town
When I left home
When I left home, when I left home
When I left home
When I left home, when I left home


Had a band out in Memphis
I played there every strip
Got real close to the brass ring
They got married and had a kid
Gave up the drinkin' for a while to be a dad
He went off to school, I went out on tour
A couple thousand gigs behind me

Twenty years later, you know I'm still kicking around
Never thought I′d amount to much or be the talk of the town
When I left home
When I left home, when I left home
When I left home
When I left home, when I left home

Twenty years from now I hope I′m still kicking around
And I wouldn't change a thing ′cause it got me here now

Twenty years later, you know I'm still kicking around
Never thought I′d amount to much or be the talk of the town
When I left home
When I left home, when I left home
When I left home
When I left home, when I left home
When I left home
When I left home, when I left home
When I left home
