I WANNA GO BACK

TO WHERE I COME FROM

WHERE I BELONG

I WANNA GO HOME

HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG

I WANNA GO HOME

TO YESTERDAY

 

I MISS MY TOWN

THOUGH, NOT THAT MUCH

I MISS MY FAMILY

I'VE TRIED TO STAY IN TOUCH

I MISS MY FRIENDS

AND IN THE END

I WANNA GO HOME

 

I MISS MY FREEDOM

I MISS THE PACE

OF WHERE I'M FROM

I MISS THAT PLACE

I MISS THE DINER

WHERE I WASHED DISHES

THE MENU'S CHEAP

THE FOOD'S DELICIOUS

 

I MISS THE WAY

THEY DRIVE TOO SLOW

WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN

THEY NEVER GO

FOR ALL IT'S FAULTS

IT'S STILL MY HOME

AND I MISS IT SO

I WANNA GO

BACK HOME

 

BRIDGE:

NINE YEARS AGO, WHEN WHAT I HAD WAS MINE

LIFE WAS EASY, SUMMERTIME

MEANT TWO DAYS A WEEK OF SLEEPIN' LATE

THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS .08

AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE

BUT, THAT WAS THERE AND THEN, I'M HERE AND NOW

AND EVERYDAY I WONDER HOW

I'LL GET OUT OF BED AND SPEND ANOTHER LONELY DAY IN HELL
