Story Behind The Song

My longtime friend of mine left "This Town" and went out west to find himself.

Song Description

It's about leaving a place or a town to go find yourself.

Lyrics

I'm saying "Bye, Bye" to this town
I've been planning for 10 months now
This time I'm ready to go right now
I can't turn back no way no how
Bye, Bye, Bye I'm leaving tonight
Bye, Bye, Bye I'm leaving today, it's ok
Bye, Bye, Bye I'm going away, it's all right
Sometimes things don't turn out just right

I've said "Hello" now I'm saying "Goodbye"
There is no way to stop me so don't even try
Don't worry about me, I'll be all right
I'm all packed up, I'm doing just fine
Bye, Bye, Bye I'm leaving today, going away
Bye, Bye, Bye I'm leaving tonight, it's all right
Bye, Bye, Bye I'm leaving today, it's ok
Sometimes it don't turn out that way

Does anybody really know themselves?
Does anybody really know?

I'm coming home, I've been so gone, I've been gone
I'm really looking forward to back home, come on home
Don't wait up for me I won't be on time, that's all right
You know I had to, had to look to find
