Spent my whole life lookin' back
Not lookin' ahead to see
Trying to keep my feet on track
Doin' what was expected of me
Kick my shoes off so they can't trace me
Leave no forwarding address
Before they all drive me crazy
And I leave 'em all in a bloody mess

Good advice Wolfwoman, but much easier said than done!
Great lighthouse Bailey! Anytime you can paint something and then sell it, it must be a good feeling.
