Into My Own

Written by: Josiah Letchworth

 

When mornin’ arrives and you find I’ve gone,

I know you won’t follow my tracks.

It’s a long way to go on that ribbon of road,

And I don’t know if I should ever turn back.

I don’t know if I’ll ever turn back.

 

I left today to find a way into my own.

And when I arrive, I’m sure that I’ll find

There’s no other place I have known

And no other way to go.

 

Out on the empty highway

There ain’t no use in holdin’ out your thumb,

So I point my finger into the sky

And ask where is my help comin’ from.

Tell me, where is my help comin’ from.

 

I left today to find a way into my own.

And when I arrive, I’m sure that I’ll find

There’s no other place I have known

And no other way to go.

 

I’m lookin’ to find the end of the earth

Where I will confirm all my doubts

‘Cause here from the ground

It don’t look too round,

And I suppose I just had to find out for myself.

I just had to find out.

 

I thought it might be at the end of the sea

With waves floatin’ over the wall,

But I arrived on the golden shore

Without havin’ seen even one waterfall.

I suppose it’s not flat after all.

 

So I’m leavin’ today to find a way back home to you.

And when I arrive, I’m sure that you’ll find me

The same as him that you knew,

Only less certain of all I thought to be true.
