Vinnie Maesto - You Can't Go Back Home Lyrics

YOU CAN'T GO BACK HOME

I went for a visit
To my old home town
Nothing looked quite the same
All the townsmen came out
But their faces have changed
Though the street signs still have their same name

You can't go back home
Is what they all say
Those words hold so true here today
I called you on the phone
There was nobody home
Maybe you just moved away

Wilted flowers
Left on the stage
From a play such a long time ago
Hollowed walls
They echo my name
From another time and place

You can't go back home
Is what they all say
I guess they were right from the start
Now my heart's sad and blue
So what can I do
All I have is the memories we made

Wilted flowers
Left on the stage
From a play such a long time ago
Hollowed walls
They echo my name
From another time and place

You can't go back home
Is what they all say
I guess that I knew it from the start
Now my heart's sad and blue
So what can I do
All I have is the memories we made
