Lyrics

I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place I was looking for something I couldn't replace I was running away from the only thing I've ever known Like a blind dog without a bone I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold I been there, done thatand I ain't lookin' back on the seeds I've sown, Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone Who says you can't go home Who says you can't go home There's only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face There isn't one of these lines that I would erase I lived a million miles of memories on that road With every step I take I know that I'm not alone You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home These are my streets, the only life I've ever known, Who says you can't go home Who says you can't go home There's only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright I been there, done thatand I ain't looking that It's been a long long road Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go If it's a million miles aways or just a mile up the road Take it in, take it with you when you go, Who says you can't go home Who says you can't go home There's only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright Who says you can't go home Who says you can't go home
