lyrics

When I was 24 I made the choice that I would eventually be free
3 years later I was 27 and I made the decision completely and I quit a job where I was making 55,463 dollars every year since I was out of high school at 18 and I hadn't saved a dime of it, I spent all of my money here

And you're on my list of things to see
I write a song about you every week

When I was 30 I had seen most of the country where I happened to be born
I had no car because I sold it for money that I spent at the grocery store and over time I traveled west hitch hiking and bumming with no destination in mind and I began to wonder if it was all worth it by the time that I was 35

And you're still on my list of things to see
I still write up a song about you every week
I still have dreams about you in my sleep
And I still wonder when we'll ever be

On my 40th birthday, I was on the other side of the world
I had skinnied out and my shirt and jeans had hung past the ends of my curled and twisted body that was the skeleton of someone rational who had lived long ago
And at 48 that person was a spectacle of someone who lived on his toes

And you're still on his list of things to see
He still thinks up a song about you every week
He ran away from you well he's coming back free
And you and him will meet eventually

When I was 50, I decided to rest and I went back to my old home town
Everything seemed just a little too familiar like nothing had even gone down in 23 years of travelling nothing ever stayed the same which is why I was so confused
And as a 60 year old man, I can tell you that nothing in this life isn't amusing

When you're someone who's on a list of things to see
Get the hell away from this city
And when I die some day know that I'll be free
And I want you to at least remember me
