I may have made a mistake
with my choice of toenail polish
I may have taken a dive
into a pool of no return
Looking around for a familiar face
Not really sure how I got into this place
But I'm trying something new
I'm leaving the old life behind

Leaving the old life behind
Leaving the old life behind
Leaving the old life behind
I'm trying something new
I'm leaving the old life behind

I used to be the kind
who followed all of the rules
And I believed everthing
they taught me back at my old school
Now I'm free as a bird learning to sing
Can't wait to see what tomorrow may bring
I've got a new point of view
I'm leaving the old life behind

Chorus

I got a walking stick
And a five dollar bill
I got a brand new pair of shoes
They can take me where ever they will
Listening to a different drummer
What a perfect way to end the summer
Gonna try something new
I'm leaving the old life behind
