5. A Different Place
(Words & Music By Michael Wendroff)
Things have not been so mellow
Around here
And springtime came and went
Just like it did last year
And all my friends have gone away
To a different place
When I walk down the street at night
I can't find a familiar face.
So I told my old man
I was leaving for the mountains and he cried.
All I can do is wish you well
I'm sorry you ran out of songs to sell
All I can say is never-mind
Men must always leave, their fathers behind
All I can do is shake your hand
I'll always be your biggest fan
All I can say is I send you love
We stuck with you
When the times got rough
And I told my old man
I was leaving for the mountains
And he cried.
