In the city, city, city lights and flashy cars
Trying to be someone, but the brightest starts in the dark

I’ve been dreaming and dreaming and dreaming
Of something more
It took a million miles to love
What I had before

I’ll be heading
Back where my roots are
Packing my boots up
Leaving it all behind

I remember
All that I came for
All that I crave for
Is for a simple life

I’m trying, trying, trying to fit into the scene
But I’ve been standing too close, can’t see the forest through the trees

I’ve been believing, believing, believing
In something else
It took a million lights to show
Me to myself

I’ll be heading
Back where my roots are
Packing my boots up
Leaving it all behind

I remember
All that I came for
All that I crave for
Is for a simple life

I’m leaving it all behind
For a simple life
I’m leaving it all behind

I’m leaving it all behind
All behind
Living a simple life
I’m living a simple life
A simple life

I’ve been dreaming and dreaming and dreaming
Of something more
I’ve been believing, believing, believing
In something else

I’ll be heading
Back where my roots are
Packing my boots up
Leaving it all behind

I remember
All that I came for
All that I crave for
Is for a simple life
