17 Again

I left home 15 days after I turned 17, with developing wanderlust that has lasted to this day. Now, 34 years later, I'm again heading off into the world, feeling a bit like 17 again. The frailties of the aging body hopefully have been offset by the wisdom and experience gained so far on my journeys.

Times might break you
God forsake you
Leave you burned and bruised
Innocence will teach you
What it feels like to be used

Thought that you'd done everything
You didn't have a clue

And it feels like I'm 17 again
Feels like I'm 17 again

Looking from the outside in
Some things never change
Funny how it seems like yesterday ...
