From Where I Began Lyrics - Dylan Jakobsen

Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots, 

Stepping on down that highway in these boots, 

But I don't wanna be another one of what they want, 

I wanna write the songs I want to, 

And bust my ass to make it where I am, 

From where I began 

I've been a wild horse, 

I've been a fast train, 

I've put some miles on this hungry soul of mine, 

Chasing the night with this gift that I've been given, 

Of a six string telling every story that I write, 

When you keep holding on to this thing for a lifetime, 

Play for tips in bars and strangers passing by, 

Oh it's taught me everything there is to offer, 

Yeah it's brought me up to where I stand tonight 

Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots, 

Stepping on down that highway in these boots, 

But I don't wanna be another one of what they want, 

I wanna write the songs I want to, 

And bust my ass to make it where I am, 

From where I began 

I've been a fighter, 

And I'll take the last punch, 

For the things that I believe are what is right, 

And if you want it, 

You gotta work hard just to get it, 

Enough to spark a fire in your eyes 

Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots, 

Stepping on down that highway in these boots, 

But I don't wanna be another one of what they want, 

I wanna write the songs I want to, 

And bust my ass to make it where I am, 

From where I began 

Well here's to the long drives and the places, 

Seen a million different faces, 

From the bars and the basements, 

To the nightclubs and the stadiums, 

All the chances that we're taking, 

And the memories that we're making, 

For a dream that you've gone chasing 

Now I'm thinking 'bout leaving this place I call my roots, 

Stepping on down that highway in these boots, 

But I don't wanna be another one of what they want, 

I wanna write the songs I want to, 

And bust my ass to make it where I am, 

Yeah I'm gon' bust my ass to make it where I am, 

And hell it just might shape me up a better man, 

From where I began
