He was 21 when he got married
His son was born when he was 23
He watched his reckless days of youth
Turn to years of responsibility
His world became routine and he got restless
The family ties that bind just tied him down
He felt his life was passing him by
Felt his dreams were crashing to the ground
And that grass was looking greener
Beyond the limits of that simple town
'Cause he wanted a life of adventure
So he left behind a wife and a child
They begged him to stay
But he threw it all away
And he answered the call of the wild
He lived it up out there in Arizona
He got rowdy down in Tennessee
Making up for lost time
Crossing the line now that he was free
But when the dust finally settled
He saw just how alone a man can be
His son was born when he was 23

Crossing the line now that he was free
But when the dust finally settled
