A new song my uncle wrote...

Hasn't been released or anything yet, but the demo is just beautiful. Please don't steal it.

I think this song really scared me into reality. I know I can't go back.

©"When You Don't Think About Leavin" -Bobby E. Boyd

She thought about her momma saying
Think about the choice you're making before you go
She was 16 and rebellious
Now she's 18 and homeless all alone
Underneath an overpass
Cold and hungry desperate
Holding up a sign that says: I just wanna go home...

It's not hard to come to your senses
Once the consequences show you the way
Guided by your mistakes
And oh you wanna change the past
But no you can't go back
Why don't the light come on to show you right from wrong
When you don't think about leavin
Till you're already gone

His friends begged him not to drive
As he payed his tab that night and said "I'm fine"
They told him he was foolish
As he told himself "I've done this a million times"
When the blue lights started flashing
Reality came crashing in
Then he started begging them: I just wanna go home...

He never was a true believer
Had the doctor call the preacher to his bed
He said "Father I'm ready to listen"
To all the words written there in red
I know I don't deserve forgiveness
I've never asked or ever given it
Now I see the truth I've missed and I just wanna go home...

And oh I wanna change the past
But no I can't go back
Why don't the light come on to show you right from wrong
When you don't think about leaving
Till you're already gone.
