Vagabond
Ragan Chuck Lyrics

I'm a vagabond just wandering along
I'm an aimless traveler, going through life with no clear direction

An obscure stretch of the drag
I'm on a remote and neglected path

I don't sleep much at all but don't get me wrong
I don't get much rest, but it's not because I don't want to

I brought it on myself with this flag that I'm waving high, Trying to keep boots dry
My struggles are a result of my own choices to pursue a difficult and unconventional path

For the high ground to lay my head
I'm constantly searching for a place to rest that's safe and elevated

And for a moment I spy when I close my eyes, A picture of her face instead
Despite my wandering, I still long for someone special who I think of often

Still I find myself in some town
I continue to end up in random places

Burning the pillars of tradition down
I rebel against conformity and challenge conventional norms

And waking up on the wrong side of fantasy
But sometimes, my choices lead me to disappointment and regret

Passing time in reverie
I spend my days lost in thought and nostalgia

I don't bet much at all but don't get me wrong
I'm not a big risk taker, but that doesn't mean I'm not brave

I played the cards that were dealt to me
I make the best of what life hands me, even if it's not a lot

I may lose my mind from time to time
I struggle with my mental health every now and then

But I know I've made my bed
I take responsibility for my actions and their consequences

And I admit that I've cried more than willing to die
I'm not afraid to show my emotions, even if they're painful

To wake up with her instead
Because I'd rather share my life with someone I love

I can't place where I lost track
I'm not sure where I went wrong or off course

Or where I just lost my head
Or if I just let my emotions get the best of me

Give me something sharp for the heartstrings
I want to feel deeply and passionately, even if it hurts

I wanna cut out of my chest
I want to express those emotions and release them

'Cause there ain't much time
Because time is precious and fleeting

Above ground
While I'm still alive

I welcome all those wishes and trades
I'm open to new opportunities and experiences

To lose the wool gathering days
In order to stop daydreaming and start taking action

Of waking up on the wrong side of you and me
So I can stop feeling regret and disappointment in my relationships

Oh, waking up on the wrong side of fantasy
And start facing reality and making positive changes

I'm waking up on the wrong side of you and me
Because I want to improve my relationships and stop feeling regretful
