Week 33 - The Problem Was Staying
I'm writing, recording, and releasing a song a week for a year. I hope it finds you somewhere along the way :)

lyrics

Three straight weeks in distress
So much to pack
So many people to see
I know I can't see them all
Why do I feel so guilty
For giving myself room to grow

Off I go
Reconnecting with everyone that I've known
But off I go

Pack the van high
Will it go one more time
Pack the van high
It's gotta go one more time

Two straight days in distress
With no A/C
Vast Appalachia is no good for Bessie
But we press on
Cause I'm over feeling guilty
Each mile we crawl is one mile closer to home

It was time to go
Time to connect with a part of myself that I never got to know
I'm almost Home
I thought I was the problem with leaving
But the problem was that I had never left
That I had never left, now I'm off to find myself

I'm off to meet myself
I'm off to meet myself
I'm off to meet myself
I'm off to meet myself
I'm off to meet myself
I'm off to meet myself
I'm off to meet myself
