My Destination - Jeremy Lyrics - Infamous Stringdusters

written by Andy Hall 

Verse 1 

When I was a child and all the world was new 

I met a little girl just a sweet as mornin' dew 

And she gave me a promise 

I hope will last forever more 

I was just a country boy who had it in his mind 

To leave that country town just to see what I could find 

But I knew I'd come back 

To find the girl I loved before 

Chorus 

And love, love, love was my destination 

I traveled so far to be with you again 

And the train, train, train will leave me at the station 

Will you be there to take me by the hand 

Verse 2 

In my pocket is a letter you wrote me long ago 

'Bout how you'd always love even if I had to go 

But it's just a piece of paper 

And you were just a child 

And the picture that I have of you is all faded and brown 

But it's all I've got to get me back to the old hometown 

Where you'll be waiting for me 

Like you promised that you would 

Chorus 

And love, love, love was my destination 

I traveled so far to be with you again 

And the train, train, train will leave me at the station 

Will you be there to take me by the hand 

(Solos) 

Verse 3 

Pulled into the depot, for ten years I've been gone 

And would I know what you like after being gone so long 

Then I thought I caught a glimpse 

Of that long golden hair 

But it was just an illusion 

Because you were no where to be found 

I was lost in the confusion 

And the train pulled out just as I turned around 

Chorus 2 

And love, love, love was my destination 

I traveled so far to be with you again 

And the train, train, train has left me at the station 

Left me alone to hang my head and cry
