Thank You, John Steinbeck

I was a lot younger but I was a fighter
 And now he could get me out of any jail
 I packed up and left, part of me waited
 But I already know how lucky I am
 A world softly spinning and the stars are forever
 And I remember the violence in your hazel eyes
 I know I should say, yeah I know I should tell her
 I'm sorry for everything and I hope you're all right
 ♪
 Is the light still blinding?
 Is the morning sun still coming back?
 ♪
 I was saved by the water of rivers
 By the laughter of children who wish I was home
 But asking the world don't make it come easy
 Didn't work for your parents, yeah you're on your own
 ♪
 I left in a hurry, my clothes barely buttoned
 And Travels With Charley tucked under my arm
 Got the road to yourself
 when you're out discerning
 I'm thinking about you wherever you are
