Lisa Bell - Back Seat Lyrics

Twenty years gone by
It went so fast I don't know how
It's time to watch you fly
The nest is empty now

Put off believing in me
While I watched my babies thrive
Such a beautiful site to see
But once again it's my time to drive

I'm not willing to take a back seat
While my dreams pass me by
Though the ties of obligation
Have kept me safe here for sometime

I find all the inspiration
That I haven't seen for miles
Was giving me direction
From the back seat all the while

Though the journey may be different
Then I mapped out years ago
I know this new direction
Is where I need to go

While there's no set destination
I know I've got so many miles
So I let my imagination
Ride shotgun for awhile

I'm not willing to take a back seat
While my dreams pass me by
Though the ties of obligation
Have kept me safe here for sometime
I find all the inspiration
That I haven't seen for miles
Was giving me direction
From the back seat all the while

I was gonna turn it all around
To go back and find my dreams
Thought I'd missed a lot of exits
But it isn't what it seems

You see detour was the journey
And though I may have been delayed
There are many avenues ahead
And now I'm on my way

I'm not willing to take a back seat
While my dreams pass me by
Though the ties of obligation
Have kept me safe here for sometime

I find all the inspiration
That I haven't seen for miles
Was giving me direction
From the back seat all the while
I was taking my direction
From the back seat all the while
