Man Without a Map lyrics

[Verse 1] I was just a little boy when you had to leave this place Got a couple dusty pictures, a smile upon your face Mom says you were kind, but I don't truly know it deep Just a quiet empty space where a memory should keep [Pre-Chorus] I often wonder what I'm supposed to feel inside Wish I'd had a chance to stand right by your side [Chorus] I'm out here on my own, just a man without a map Trying hard to walk the line, avoiding every trap Learning life lessons without a guiding hand to see Just figuring it out, the best that I can be [Verse 2] When the truck breaks down, or a hard decision's due I look around for answers, but I never hear from you There's a hundred little moments, every single day I wish you were here to show me the right way [Pre-Chorus] I often wonder what I'm supposed to feel inside Wish I'd had a chance to stand right by your side [Chorus] I'm out here on my own, just a man without a map Trying hard to walk the line, avoiding every trap Learning life lessons without a guiding hand to see Just figuring it out, the best that I can be [Bridge] I dreamt of fishing trips and wisdom you could share Just a whisper in the wind, but no one's really there [Chorus] I'm out here on my own, just a man without a map Trying hard to walk the line, avoiding every trap Learning life lessons without a guiding hand to see Just figuring it out, the best that I can be
