No one knows,
|
What's waiting; where you go.
|
Nothings certain but the fact:
|
That you're leaving.
|
Still, you roam,
|
From the straight and narrow road,
|
Riding nothing but the lies,
|
That you believe in.
|
|
Frame after frame,
|
The pictures all remain..
|
Photographs of all the hearts you've broken.
|
Frozen in time,
|
Are the ghosts you left behind,
|
Waiting for the words you left unspoken.
|
|
Ho no no!
|
|
Dear Home Town..
|
I never meant to let you down,
|
When I sold my soul for a song.
|
Dreams are to blame,
|
They still linger and remain,
|
In the heart of a child who's been gone.
|
Dear Home Town.
|
|
Tell the girl:
|
It's a wide and wondrous world,
|
There's room enough,
|
To leave a life your hating.
|
And the highway runs both ways,
|
And there's seats left on the train,
|
And if you take it to the station,
|
I'll be waiting.
|
|
Ho no no!
|
|
Dear Home Town..
|
I never meant to let you down,
|
When I sold my soul for a song.
|
Dreams are to blame,
|
They still linger and remain,
|
In the heart of a child who's been gone.
|
Dear Home Town.
|
|
And tell my Mom:
|
I miss her lovin' smile,
|
And tell my Father:
|
I really miss his laughter.
|
Tell my sisters and my brothers,
|
Tell my friends and all the others,
|
That we'll meet in the Sweetest Hereafter.
|
|
Ho no no no no no nooo!
|
|
Dear Home Town..
|
I never meant to let you down,
|
When I sold my soul for a song.
|
Dreams are to blame,
|
They still linger and remain,
|
In the heart of a child who's been gone.
|
|
Dear Home Town..
|
I never meant to let you down,
|
When I sold my soul for a song.
|
Dreams are to blame,
|
They still linger and remain,
|
In the heart of a child who's been gone.
|
Dear Home Town.
