Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We said goodbye to a dear old friend
And we packed our bags and left feeling sad
It's the only way
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads gave a smile
It's the only way, only way
[Chorus]
Turn your head and don't look back
Set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around, don't look down
Ooh, there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there, ah
[Instrumental]
Well it really don't matter much where you are
'Cause home is in your heart
It's a feeling that you wake with one day
Some people keep running all of their life
And still find they haven't gone too far
They don't see it's the feeling inside, the feeling inside, oh
[Chorus]
Turn your head and don't look back
Just set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around, don't look down
Ooh, there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there
[Instrumental]
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads gave a smile
It's the only way
