I'm living in Augusta, Georgia now working my hands to the bone. The first night I was here I shaved my head, to cope with the Southern heat. You didn't seem to like it, nor the way it looked with my beard. Good thing I don't have to look good for you anymore. I told you that when I come home, I'll be a different man. You didn't seem to know what I meant nor did you really care. I found myself so far from home and realized the man I've been for far too long was never me at all.
