Your Man Alex Smith - Where I'm Going Lyrics

These boots are lined with lead
The words you said are etched inside
And while they're hard to lift
They were a gift. I'll wear them with pride

I kiss my mom and my dad on the cheek before I go
I try not to wake 'em up cos I can't let 'em know
I grab a pen and a pad and I write them a note
Says 'I promise I'll pay back everything I owe
And I feel the tears coming but I can't let 'em show
I can't let 'em show

Cos when I get to where I'm going
The streets will be paved with gold
And when I get to where I'm going
The nights won't seem so cold
Won't seem so cold

I'm sprawled out in the dirt
And those I've hurt have turned their backs
The rumours ripple through
And I have you to thank for that

So I'm burning all I got and I'm taking all I can
Being everything I'm not but always sticking to the plan
Clutching everything I have so, come on, give me your hand
Cos if I do this thing right, baby, I can be your man
If I do this thing right, baby, I can be your man
I can be your man

Cos when I get to where I'm going
I'll hold stars in the palm of my hand
And when I get to where I'm going
You'll finally understand

As long as I live
While there's flesh on my bones
I promise I'll take this world, make it my own
It has to be this
It has to go right
Cos I can't feel like this for one more night
So now I'll hold my breath and hope that I can fly
Cos when I reach
That
Sun
Everything will be just
Fine
