Where you goin' my brown-eyed son?
You used to crawl but now you run
You started off on a road half-dark
And the river curled into a question mark
Will you sleep on diamond beaches, dear?
And drink from prism streams so clear?
You don't have to be rich to get around
There are mansions growin' out of the ground
Days go by
Get out and see the world
Days go by
Get out and see the world with your own eyes
Now, the journey took you far from home
And pushed you out of your comfort zone
There are kids out there with war paint on
And hearts break like crayons
Before you left, the world was small
Now, the hills are bleedin' like waterfalls
There are a lot of bad things that are buried shallow
And cries for help with no echoes
Days go by
Get out and see the world
Days go by
Get out and see the world with your own eyes
It's hard to see what your going through
Just knowing can beat up on you
You'll spend some time in the waiting place
And the purest things may leave no trace
Go up the mountain top and shine
I'll reflect it on my long decline
I've gathered sunsets in my prime
Now, I'm planting trees I'll never climb
Days go by
Get out and see the world
Days go by
Get out and see the world with your own eyes
Your own eyes
Your own eyes
Your own eyes
You used to crawl but now you run
You started off on a road half-dark
And the river curled into a question mark
Will you sleep on diamond beaches, dear?
And drink from prism streams so clear?
You don't have to be rich to get around
There are mansions growin' out of the ground
Days go by
Get out and see the world
Days go by

Now, the journey took you far from home
And pushed you out of your comfort zone
There are kids out there with war paint on

Now, the hills are bleedin' like waterfalls
There are a lot of bad things that are buried shallow
And cries for help with no echoes

Days go by
Get out and see the world
Days go by
Get out and see the world with your own eyes
Your own eyes
Your own eyes
Your own eyes

Sometimes you hear a song and you know, pretty good. And then you hear it again, and sometimes it's even better. This is one of those songs.
Thanks RP for the intro, gonna check out some more of Brett's music.

Heard him several years ago and it seemed he was on track to be the American Ed Sheeran.

This guy must be related to Tom Petty.

Nice tune - certainly getting the Tom Petty similarity...
Just sniggering at the Wki photo - that is so Mrs Brown

"Before you left, the world was small

This is some of the worst songwriting I have ever heard on RP.

Learning to Fly? It's just natural for our minds to seek patterns. I'm a fan of BD.

Tom Petty's country brother?
I had to see if it was a Petty tune too!
