Lyrics

There you go in your new car, one last wave and you disappear
Mom and I on the front porch looking toward a lonely year
You've set yourself a fast pace, dreams of change and claims to stake
 
You're charging like the cavalry, so ready to engage
Looking back on who you've been like a bird on her empty cage
 
I dreamed you came back someone new, just as strange as a long-lost twin
Are you someone I don't recognize or the same fine girl within?
And as you're surging forward will you give more than you take?
 
You're charging like the cavalry, so ready to engage
Looking back on who you've been like a bird on her empty cage
 
When you wade in life's big river, you won't slow its current down
If you want to hook the big ones you've got to stand your ground
And don't turn around
 
And though this means you'll never really call this home again
Know that you can still be wild and free if you come back now and then
As you get a little older, you will feel this same small ache
 
You're charging like the cavalry, so ready to engage
Looking back on who you've been like a bird on her empty cage
Don't look back forever like a bird on her empty cage
