I said goodbye to the city life mom,
I actually feel like myself again now.
I love speeding through rural country
with the wind blowing my hair around.

My sight has changed somehow
I take in the night with new eyes.
I miss you when I look up into space now
but at least here the stars are clear in the sky.

You once told me you dreamed of going out
sailing on Tahoe around noon.
So I drove down to the lake for you
even though it rained that day in June.

You told me to always smell the roses
so I stop to pick wildflowers by the road.
I see you in myself even more now
you’ll always be with me wherever I go.
