Relocate
This song is about chances. I had many of them when I was younger, and I used to think that if I lived in one place and I had a lot of problems all I had to do is relocate to get rid of them and start over. But that isn't always the case. Has one friend told me once your problems are like the mail, and wherever you go that forwarded to you. I've stopped believing in relocating, as I know it won't do me any good at this point in my life. I've lived in the town that I am in for 16 years. I really enjoy being here, and for most of the time that I've lived here I've been sober. I had a little setback over 2 years ago, but now two years sober I'm grateful that I've gotten a lot of things in my life back that I love. Obviously I love to write, I love learning how to play the drums, and most of all I love hiking and guiding in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, one of the toughest places to hike in the world. If you ever get to New england, come look me up at Redline guiding in North Conway New hampshire. I'll take you on a hike that you'll never forget. I'm so grateful to be in this position, and this might be my last chance, so I can't waste it.

There was a time in my life
I could just pick up and leave
Start somewhere new
And get a reprieve
I tried several times
I had many chances
The trouble always started
With failed romances
Today I'm alone
My life almost over
But at least I can say
I'm clean and sober
I'm grateful for that
I'm never going back
I'm grateful for that
I'm back on track
Too many times/
I pushed life away/
But now I can cope/I live freely today
No longer a slave
No longer controlled
Now I have a chance
To be happy and grow old
I'm grateful for that
I'm never going back
I'm grateful for that
I'm back on track
