So, I honestly believe that everyone has a theme song that describes their life. No seriously. If you think about it, it's kinda awesome. A song that can tell a listener exactly what they need to know about your life without investing too much time and without giving them all the details (good and bad). Mine is "The Long Way Around" by the Dixie Chicks:
My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live
But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow
I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel
I've been a long time gone
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow
By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long
the long way around
I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to
No I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow
It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting' it back on the road now
But I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself
But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Cheesy? yes. True? completely. I'm still trying to figure out who I am , and I know that whenever I make friends that are based out of somewhere esle* I tend to be a different person to them than my friends in other places. I think this is me trying to find me, and that happens.
What's your theme song?
*I tend to keep my friends away from each other at all costs possible-- for some reason I don't like my worlds to mix. My Memphis friends don't know my ultimate friends, my knoxville friends don't know my Atlanta friends, etc...
