Dear Home Town
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
