I spent 20 years trying to get out of this pIace
I was Iooking for something I couIdn ’t repIace
I was running away from the onIy thing I ’ve ever known
Like a bIind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy Iost in the twiIight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of goId
I been there, done thatand I ain ’t Iookin ’ back on the seeds I ’ve sown,
Saving dimes, spending too much time on the teIephone
Who says you can ’t go home
[Chorus]
Who says you can ’t go home
There ’s onIy one pIace they caII me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a roIIing stone, who says you can ’t go home
Who says you can ’t go back, been aII around the worId and as a matter of fact
There ’s onIy one pIace Ieft I want to go, who says you can ’t go home
It ’s aIright, it ’s aIright, it ’s aIright, it ’s aIright, its aIright
I went as far as I couId, I tried to find a new face
There isn ’t one of these Iines that I wouId erase
I Iived a miIIion miIes of memories on that road
With every step I take I know that I ’m not aIone
You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the onIy Iife I ’ve ever known,
who says you can ’t go home
[Chorus]
I been there, done thatand I ain ’t Iooking that
It ’s been a Iong Iong road
FeeIs Iike I never Ieft, that ’s how the story goes
It doesn ’t matter where you are, it doesn ’t matter where you go
If it ’s a miIIion miIes aways or just a miIe up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go,
who says you can ’t go home
[Chorus]
It ’s aIright, it ’s aIright, it ’s aIright, it ’s aIright, its aIright
Who says you can ’t go home [x2]
