This track was written by Alan. It's about a person from home who everybody knew would amount to something great actually living up to that potential.
lyrics
He's up and gone, he ran off just the other day. Up and gone: goodbye was all he had to say. He up and ran: nothing but a guitar in his hand and stars in his eyes made him realize you gotta live life while you can, so he ran.
