“Where I Came From” is an anthemic guitar-driven heater that recalls late ‘70s Petty and the best of that era’s rust-belt heartland rockers in voicing modern disillusion and bittersweet nostalgia for midwestern sunsets and simpler times.

lyrics

Tore up, battered, and beat down
It’s time that I slowed down
Been moving too fast

Losing sight of the vision
For years I’ve been wishing
that I could go back

Back to when it didn’t feel like trying
And it didn’t take much to get me high

I haven’t felt that hunger in a while
Nothing gives me that rush
These days I’m coming to find that I
Don’t give enough or
I take too much
Losing track of desire
And where I came from

Roots run deeper than dollars
I learned from my father
When I was young

Good friends they’re hard to come by
Oh how I miss four tires
Gravel roads and Petty songs

Back to when it didn’t feel like trying
And it didn’t take much to get me high

I haven’t felt that hunger in a while
Nothing gives me that rush
These days I’m coming to find that I
Don’t give enough or
I take too much
Losing track of desire
And where I came from
