"Where I'm Coming From" lyrics

Look at Mr. Born To Run
Think this town ain't big enough for you
I know I'm just your grandpa, but
Don't forget I was your age once too

To know the good you got, sometimes you gotta go
You think you hate it here but trust me, boy, you don't

It might take you a couple more trips around the sun
But one day, you'll find out
There's a lot more to a simple life than you thought it was
Sometimes, it takes a town
To raise you, to make you what you're made of
When it's time to settle down
Plant roots and when you do, you'll know where I'm comin' from
And you'll come back around

Well, look at Mr. All Grown Up
Blinked an eye and the years added up
I'm seein' more me in you
Pavin' your own road runs in your blood

I'd never tell you not to do the things you love
But what you're chasin' now won't always be enough, oh

It might take you a couple more trips around the sun
But one day, you'll find out
There's a lot more to a simple life than you thought it was
Sometimes, it takes a town
To raise you, to make you what you're made of
When it's time to settle down
Plant roots and when you do, you'll know where I'm comin' from
And you'll come back around

Yeah, you'll come back around
Oh

Look at Mr. Born To Run
Missin' you, wishin' he could call you up
Just to hear you tell me that you told me so

It might take me a couple of more trips around the sun
But I've been findin' out
There's a lot more to a simple life than I thought it was
Sometimes, it takes a town
To raise you, to make you what you're made of
When it's time to settle down
Plant roots and when you do, you'll know where I'm comin' from
You'll come back around

Yeah, you will
You'll come back around
Oh, yeah

Plant roots and when you do, you'll know where I'm comin' from
