Christian at the age of 21, still lived with his parents. He was tired of it. He wanted to get away from Dallas. He lived there all his life and was ready for something different. He wanted to go to California, have a house near the beach and write and sell his stories and poems. But Christian's father, George wanted him to stay home and take care of the family business.

"Look, father I don't want your life."

"But this business has been passed down from James to son for years."

"Well I have a freaking better dream than this damn business!"

"Don't use that kind of language with me boy."

"Fuck you, I'll use whatever damn language I want."

Christian got very frustrated with his father and put him in his place. He gave his father the hardest punch known to man, knocking his father to the ground, hard. Then he walked right over his father and was out the door.

He was so happy to be leaving the boring city he began to sing.

I'm leaving today,

Livin' it, leaving it to change,

Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze,

Tongue tied and twisted are all my memories,

Celebrating a fantasy come true,

Packing all my bags finally on the move,

He got into his car and started to drive, he was on his way to Hollywood.

I'm leaving today,

Livin' it, leaving it to change,

He sees all the beauty on the road and can't help but sing about the beauty of the road.

As I'm driving I'm captured by the view,

So much beauty the road becomes my muse,

The heat is rising and my hand surfs through the wind,

Cool, calm, collected is the child that lies within, see,

I'm leaving today,

Livin' it, leaving it to change,

I'm leaving today,

Livin' it, leaving it to change,

He looks back one last time at his old childhood and a single tear goes down his cheek.

But somehow I miss it; I think I'll really miss it one day,

I turn up the radio and I feel like I've never felt before,

Turn down the memories of yesteryears and broken dreams I bring,

Finally free,

Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze,

I'm leaving today,

Livin' it, leaving it to change,

I'm leaving today,

Livin' it, leaving it to change,

I'm leaving today,

Livin' it, leaving it to change,

And as he drives into a hotel in Los Angeles he slowly whispers.

But some how I miss it, I think I'll really miss it,

One day.
