Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am a cinematographer
I am a cinematographer
Oh, I am a cinematographer
Oh, I am a cinematographer
[Verse 2]
And I walked away from New York City
And I walked away from everything that's good
And I walked away from everything that I lean on
Only to find it's made of wood
Made of wood
[Verse 3]
And I was a big ol' bear once
Oh, I was a big ol' bear once
Oh, I was a big ol' bear once
Oh, I was a big ol' bear once
[Verse 4]
And I walked away from California
And I walked away from everything that's shown
And I walked away from everything I lived for
Only to find everything had grown
Everything had grown
[Verse 5]
Now I am a cinematographer
Oh, I am a cinematographer
Oh, I am a cinematographer
Oh, I am a cinematographer
[Verse 6]
If you were alone
You could walk away from Louisville alone
