When everyone knows everyone, it's hard to feel at peace Never know who might be sitting at the table next to me I'm always someone's cousin, someone's brother, someone's son And everyone knows everything 'bout crazy stuff I've done In this stick around town All small talk is the same When nobody's a stranger and my name means everything I've reached a point in life where I think I can afford To broaden my horizons And open up new doors I love where I was raised It made me who I am today But I the fear of what I'm missing in the world won't go away I need to branch out I gotta I make a change And search until I find a place my name ain't everything My bags are packed Said my goodbyes A plane is taking off tonight Never gonna know if I don't try Wheels are down On brand new ground I feel alive, and I hear the sound Cheers, to starting a new life I made it to place, where the biggest news is more Than who's having a baby, and who might get a divorce No one thinks they know me from the stories they've been told I don't have to think twice 'bout the hands I wanna hold A thousand other people, on any given train Here I'm just a another stranger, and my name don't mean a thing I love the fast pace, but sometimes I miss the place Where nobody's a stranger, and my name means everything I might live far away At the end of the day I know just where I came from, and my name ain't gonna change
