down the lonely road...

I heard this song yesterday and it took me back.  Funny how songs that defined part of your childhood can come back into your life and mean so much... even 20 years later.  When i was a little kid i used to sing this in the car.  I'd beg my mom to turn it up.  If it came on as we were parking i'd want to stay in the car until it finished.  Why did i like this song so much?  No idea.  I could sing every word but understood none of them.  Today the song reminds me of those good times singing along to the radio (but seriously... who listens to a radio anymore?).  It also reminds me of this point in my life.  I'm leaving.

The lyrics seem to cut me down to my soul.  I don't know where i'm going, but i sure know where i've been.  I feel i've been spinning my wheels for so long now that i don't know which direction is which.  But it's time to make some hard decisions and move forward.  And i've made up my mind, i ain't wasting no more time.  Here i go again on my own...
