Right Back Where I Started From

you don't know what you got - until you lose it
and i can testify that that's the truth
i had it all and didn't know how to use it
i was so stupid - it was right before my eyes

i've been looking all my life
waiting for the perfect time
never knew that i would find it
right back where i started from
why'd i have to go so far
when everything was where you are
how'd i know that you be waiting
right back where i started from

who can tell ya where the rivers flowin'
just ride the wave - let it take ya down
all the twists and turns i navigated
it's so frustratin' you were there all the time

i've been looking all my life
waiting for the perfect time
never knew that i would find it
right back where i started from
why'd i have to go so far
when everything was where you are
how'd i know that you be waiting
right back where i started from...

oh where i started from
i know where i'm headed to - it's right back where i've been

i've been looking all my life
waiting for the perfect time
never knew that i would find it
right back where i started from
why'd i have to go so far
when everything was where you are
how'd i know that you be waiting
right back where i started from...
