Oh, I'll put up a wall
To distance myself from it all
And inside I stood tall
Where no one could hear me fall
And the nails they've grown old
They've rusted under the cold
Where they lay I know
Because I hammered them home

Oh, I'll run away
Far from this place I'll go
Cause it ain't my home
Back to Horsehead Bay
Out in Washington
A place that I know

Oh, I'll run away
Far from this place I'll go
No it ain't my home
Back to Pesaro
On the Italian Coast

And by my father I was told
That where you come from is gold
And it don't matter where you go
It ain't never gonna feel quite like home
And I've been weathered and aged
From days spent out in the rain
And I got a feeling in my heart
That I'll go back to the start
Oh, I'll run away
Far from this place I'll go
Cause it ain't my home
Back to Horsehead Bay
Out in Washington
A place that I know

Oh, I'll run away
Far from this place I'll go
Cause it ain't my home
Back to Somerset
Down in Southwest England

Back to Somerset
Down in Southwest England
Oooh, oooh
