Time and time again I tried to get back to my home town[00:00:16]
On my mind again I'm on my way back take a look around[00:00:25]
The places I remember where my picture comes undone[00:00:33]
Such a long way back and this boy's lost track of the place where he was young[00:00:41]
And I'm back on the street where I used to live[00:00:51]
And I passed an old friend who was holding his kid[00:00:56]
And I swear I can almost hear mamma call my name[00:01:00]
And I'm back on the river where I was Huck Finn[00:01:08]
Just Charlie McLaughlin he always played Jim[00:01:13]
Now I know why they say you just can't go home again[00:01:17]
Yes I know why they say you just can't go home again[00:01:24]
My friends and I could talk the night away about where we were going[00:01:37]
Laying out our lives we had no way of ever knowing[00:01:46]
The plans we made keep changing and people they just do the same[00:01:54]
It's a long way back and we all lose track of the faces and the names[00:02:02]
And I stop for an ice cream at the corner d**g store[00:02:12]
A double deck cone ain't a dime anymore[00:02:17]
Have things really changed so much or is it just me[00:02:21]
And I asked about Tom he ran the picture show[00:02:29]
And somebody said he died years ago[00:02:33]
Now I know why they say you just can't go home again[00:02:37]
Yes I know why they say you just can't go home again[00:02:45]
Such a long way back and this boy's lost track[00:03:18]
Of the places and their names[00:03:22]
And I spoke to the bum as he sat on the ground[00:03:28]
That crazy old man he's still toasting the town[00:03:32]
For the first time in my life I understood[00:03:36]
How the wine that had taken his worries and cares[00:03:44]
Had also taken the love he once shared[00:03:49]
Then he cried as he said I just can't go home again[00:03:53]
Now I know why they say you just can't go home again[00:04:01]
Yes I know why they say you just can't go home again[00:04:09]
