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
