songs about leaving

I could feel at the time
there was no way of knowing
fallen leaves in the night
who can say where they're blowing?
as free as the wind
and hopefully learning
why the Sea on the Tide
has no way of turning...

More than this...
there is nothing
more than this...
tell me one thing
more than this...
there is nothing

It was fun for a while
there was no way of knowing
like a dream in the night
who can say where we're going?
no care in the world
maybe I'm learning
why the Sea on the Tide
has no way of turning...

I am finally leaving Michigan for Texas after 27 years of living and 10 years of complaining. Fitting that this is the last song I will play before I hit the road. I did not even know what the lyrics were until I googled them. I guess this is the thread where we talk about the music we listened to before we left the town where we grew up.
