I can never go home again
Never really find my town
I can see things
Unlike they used to be
No need in my hanging round

Oh, I remember summer
But that was very long ago
I'd sit and talk with the guys I knew around the block
Where have all my old friends gone?

I can never go home again
Never really find my town
I can see things
Unlike they used to be
No need in my hanging round

Seems to me that more each day
We have even less to say
You sit and cry, oh, and then we give it one more try
There must be a better way

If for only just today
Home is where I'd like to go
That's where my folks would be
Oh, and they were so good to me
Why did I take so long to know?

I can never go home again
Never really find my town
I can see things
Unlike they used to be
No need in my hanging round

I can never go home again (I can never go home again)
I can never go home again (I can never go home again)
I can never go home (I)
