Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I spent twenty years trying to get out of this place
I was looking for something, I couldn't replace
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known
[Verse 2]
Like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the Twilight Zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
I been there, done that
I ain't looking back on the seeds I've sown
Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone
Who says you can't go home?
[Chorus]
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I wanna go
Who says you can't go home?
[Chorus]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
[Verse 3]
I went as far as I could
I tried to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I lived a million miles of memories on that road
[Verse 4]
With every step I take, I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy
But not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known
Who says you can't go home?
[Chorus]
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I wanna go
Who says you can't go home?
[Chorus]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home?
[Verse 5]
Been there, done that
I ain't looking back, it's been a long, long road
Feels like I never left that's how the story goes
[Verse 6]
It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles away, or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go
Who says you can't go home?
[Chorus]
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone
Who says you can't go home?
[Chorus]
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I wanna go
Who says you can't go home?
[Outro]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home?
