Footprints

You must leave so you can see
There's so much that you can be
And you will find out
On the other side of town
On the other side of town

Yo, it's kinda crazy where it get you when you fly
My uncle seen this whole earth and didn't even drive
I'd take him on a tour with me but recently he died
But he knew the map front to back, I seen it in his eyes
Hence the name seen
Travel 'round this rock, no Ciroc
Stewardess pass, I ask for whiskey on the rocks
Pray from where he's standing that he's proud of where I got
Considering nobody didn't ever give me squat
I'm a prod'gen sitting out to Paris on a private jet
Yeah right, coaching on this ocean for these knob checks
Red eye and barely ever see my bed I'm
Full courtin' young Jedi, mind trickin', eyes flicker
But overseas flights the plane provides liquor
May arrive twisted in fine print, that line sits
Truer than a prostitute who'll do you for a fine tip
And lie to make you slime quick, sunrise, five, six
Depending where you livin', like the sun I'm shining
And I'll do it from a distance, every now and then
I drop a quarter just to call you, but otherwise I miss ya
Yo

You must leave so you can see
There's so much that you can be
And you will find out
On the other side of town
On the other side of town

I got a feeling that this jet lag's a feeling I'll be missing
When I'm pissing in a bedpan, flirting with the nurses
Lifting skirts during sponge baths, telling them the stories
Of a journey driven young man
The crazy part is that it's unplanned
Keys, phone, passport, magazine, one bag
Headphones, CDs, how did I forget those?
Once took a bag of Mozart to a fresh show, fucked up
Once again it was my unc's stuff
Kind of music that my unc' bumped, absent minded
Even if I had the time to find it I'd be sitting in an office
Doing business with a bag lunch
Unpack, pack up, take train, catch bus
Hotel, pay bills, check out, smash love, step out
Promise that when I return I will tell her 'bout my trip first
But then I'll do it reverse

You must leave so you can see
There's so much that you can be
And you will find out
On the other side of town
On the other side of town
You must leave so you can see
There's so much that you can be
And you will find out
On the other side of town
On the other side of town
