You Can't Go Home

My name ain't someone they would know

But I lived here not that long ago

She told me that she loved this little frame house

So I saved up some money and put a payment down

Right over there in that front porch swing

We held hands and we dreamed a dream or two

That sure looks like the same ol' door

Where I kissed her goodbye a thousand times before

Please, bring her back to me

I came lookin' for a feelin' but the feelin's gone

You can go back but you can't go home

I wonder if they'd mind if I wandered around inside

I'm feelin' kinda low and it's been such a long, long time

I'd like to get a good look at what our life used to be

But there's one bedroom I can't bear to see

Right over there in that front porch swing

We held hands and we dreamed a dream or two

That sure looks like the same ol' door

Where I kissed her goodbye a thousand times before

Please, bring her back to me

I came lookin' for a feelin' but the feelin's gone

You can go back but you can't go home

It's where it started

Home it's where the heart is

Home is where I lost it

Home, it's so hard to find again

Right over there in that front porch swing

We held hands and we dreamed a dream or two underneath the moon

That sure looks like the same ol' door

Where I kissed her goodbye a thousand times before

Please, bring her back to me

I came lookin' for a feelin' but the feelin's gone

You can go back but you can't go home

Oh, you can go back but you can't go home
