It’s time to go home to Texas
I’m going back, but
not backwards
Though I’m leaving my boat life behind
My memories carry me forward
Just like the ocean surrounded
me
When I sailed from island to island
The flatlands
of west Texas
Stretch away to an endless horizon
I’m reflecting on my reflection
I’m excited about
my new life
At sea or on land, I’m as free as the wind
Back home to Texas again
I’ve learned to live a simple life
I’ve learned what’s
important to me
The world has changed, and so have I
I know now who I want to be
Things that I did, things
that I didn’t
Both I might want to forget
But I’m
not a man who asks, “What if…?”
My life has no room for
regrets
I’m reflecting on my reflection
I’m excited about
my new life
At sea or on land, I’m as free as the wind
Back home to Texas again
The true measure of the success
Of this journey through
life that I’m taking
Is not what I’m taking away
But
the footprint that I am leaving
Once again I’ll have
some keys
Lord knows I can’t live without ‘em
But
my friends hold the key to my heart
Without them my life
would mean nothin’
I’m reflecting on my reflection
I’m excited about
my new life
At sea or on land, I’m as free as the wind
Back home to Texas again
Taking lessons learned to my new life
