This song is about trying to break the pattern and not follow in your parents' footstep.

I can still remember, being seventeen. How my life would change, how I lost my dream. The dream became a nightmare, as I realized. The world as I had seen it, was nothing but a lie. I saw how my old man, was nothing but a fool. Living in a bottle, making his own rules. And then I started drinking, living day by day. Drowning out the sorrow, Hope they'd go away. Hoooo - hoo - hoo - hoooo hoo- hoo - hooooo Always trying - to find the way home Through the dark night and all alone Deep inside of me, there was a decent man. Trying to get out, trying to make his stand. And then I met this woman, who saw that man in me. Who helped me let him out, helped to set him free. Being loved by someone, was difficult for me. I tried the best I could, to love her equally. Bringing up my children, I gave them all my love. They should never doubt, that they were put above. Hoooo - hoo - hoo - hoooo hoo- hoo - hooooo Always trying - to find the way home Through the dark night and all alone
