We think we're pretty smart, our city slickers get around
Back to my home town 'cause it's been so long
Back to my home town
And when the going's rough we kill the pain and relocate
So sometimes when the music stops I seem to hear a distant sound
Back to my home town 'cause it's been so long
Wanna go back to my home town
Though I know it'll never be the same
And tickets and the daily news and sometimes I just
We're never married, never faithful not to any town
Back to my home town 'cause it's been so long
Of waves and seagulls, football crowds and church bells and I
And all the stupid things, the letters and the broken verse
Wanna go back to my home town
Though I know it'll never be the same
And now I plough through piles of bills, receipts and credit cards
And I'm wondering if it's still there
And I'm wondering if it's still there
Stayed hidden at the bottom of the drawer, they'd always been
Though I know it'll never be the same
But we never leave the past behind, we just accumulate
