I went back to my hometown Christmas snow was on the ground

Saw the girl who used to be everything in the world to me

We went down to my old school walked the halls remembering the rules

Thought of friends who used to be everything in the world to me

My family moved far away we never did return

That girl found someone else to love here's the one thing that I've learned

You can go home and that's a fact you can go home but you can't go back

[ guitar - steel ]

Saw the house where she used to live saw the park where we first kissed

Saw the dreams that used to be everything in the world to me

Everything in the world to me now just a faded memory

All these years I heard it calling me

You can go home and that's a fact you can go home but you can't go back

You can go home and that's a fact that's a fact

You can go home but you can't go back
