Home Town
Of all the stupid things i could have thought
This was the worst
I started to believe
That i was born at seventeen
And all the stupid things
The letters & the broken verse
Stayed hidden at the bottom of the drawer
They'd always been
And now i plough through piles
Of bills, receipts & credit cards
And tickets & the daily news
And sometimes i just . . .
Wanna go back to my home town
Though i know it'll never be the same
Back to my home town
'cause it's been so long
And i'm wondering if it's still there
We think we're pretty smart
Us city slickers get around
And when the going's rough
We kill the pain & relocate
We're never married
Never faithful not to any town
But we never leave the past behind
We just accumulate
So sometimes when the music stops
I seem to hear a distant sound
Of waves & seagulls
Football crowds & church bells
And i . . .
Wanna go back to my home town
Though i know it'll never be the same
Back to my home town
'cause it's been so long
And i'm wondering if it's still there
Back to my home town
Though i know it'll never be the same
Back to my home town
'cause it's been so long
And i'm wondering if it's still there
