@yawhause I didn't know Tom Rush before I watched Express Festival.I would have never thought I should have left my home...I'm 25 years old and whitout any doubt I'm still young,but it's hard to say hello to all your memories and get a new way,make a new step in your life.I would have never imagined that in my life I would one day be able to decide on my future...and probably I'm still crying 'cause anything would be like ten years ago...

Love this song. Very honest, like he said. Just a man and his guitar and some brilliant touching unforgettable lyrics.

Oh my ...oh my.. I cried. I am both a mother who has had children leave home... and a daughter who left home. And now a grandmother of a child who left home....

I was driving in Edmonton yesterday and just happened to turn my radio on. I heard this song and didn't know what it was so started searching youtube and finaly found.
What a nice song it is very personal.



I cried when I heard this song for the first time - seeing Tom Rush perform it in Boston in 1970. Was 17, about to graduate high school and leave for college. I cried again just now when I heard it again in 2008 at age 55. A timeless song. Thank you for posting it.

Hey, StGermain. Identified with your comments about runnin' away in '67. I did the same thing in '67, went to Greenwich Village. Lots of danger around, but oh what great times! What discoveries of life and love! I guess there was alot of us kids at that time inspired by guys like Tom Rush and Dylan and Eric Andersen to want to leave mom and dad and explore that big beautiful world outside the limits of the little suburban towns we came from.
