Find My Fortune
Journey of Dreams: REO Speedwagon's Find My Fortune
Lyrics
Backwoods killer from a river town
Describing a dangerous person from a rural area
A mixed up kid that let his hair hang down
A confused young person with long hair
High school rebel, he's always been bad
A rebellious student, always causing trouble
And his poor old man's still wondering 'bout the lad
The father of this kid is worried about him
But he's gone, gone away to find his fortune
He has left in search of his fortune
There's a long-haired lady lookin' for a home
A woman with long hair seeking a place to belong
With her young son, he'd left them both alone
She's alone with her young son because her partner left
And his black-haired lover's got a broken heart
A woman with black hair is heartbroken because her lover is distant
'Cause her lonely boy just won't play the part
Her son isn't fulfilling the role he should
'Cause he's gone, gone away to find his fortune
He, too, has departed in search of his fortune
And it's been a long, long way
It's been a significant journey
From that little town to L.A.
The journey has been from a small town to Los Angeles
And I can't turn around
He's determined to keep moving forward
Ladies, I'm gone, gone away to find my fortune
Expressing his departure to find his fortune to women
A restless nature fed my crazy dreams
A wild ambition fueled his unconventional dreams
So I packed my bags in a big limousine
He left in style, disregarding those who mocked him
laughed at the people who were laughin' at me
He found humor in the disbelief of others
Laughed and said I'm gonna be what I be
Asserting his determination to be true to himself
And I'm gone, gone away to find my fortune
Reiterating his departure to seek his fortune
