Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wish that you could see this city
Just how it used to be
Burnin' with the fire of industry
Wish that you could feel the life
We once felt on these streets
[Verse 2]
But you can't
No, you can't
[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm on my way
Through some kinda ghost town
I'm on my way back home
I'm on my way
Wish that I could slow down
And I'm on my way back home
[Verse 4]
Nothin' but a wounded highway
No blood in these veins
Can hardly see a car, truck or train
There's no one left to say what happened
But I want someone to blame
[Verse 5]
But I can't
No I can't
[Verse 6]
'Cause I'm on my way
Through some kinda ghost town
I'm on my way back home
I'm on my way
Wish that I could slow down
And I'm on my way back home
[Verse 7]
Lookin' for some answers
In the rubble, rocks, and sand
But diggin's got me nothin'
But some more dirt on my hands
I didn't see it comin'
Never thought we'd see her fall
But maybe she was crumblin' all along
[Verse 8]
Wish that you could see my family
Just how it used to be
Burnin' with a love so bright and free
I wish that I could hold my mama
Just once more before she leaves
[Verse 9]
But I can't
No, I can't
Now I can't
No, I can't (I can't)
No, I can't
[Verse 10]
'Cause I'm on my way
Through some kinda ghost town
I'm on my way back home
I'm on my way
Wish that I could slow down
And I'm on my way back home
Yeah, I'm on my way
Through some kinda ghost town
I'm on my way back home
And I'm on my way
Wish that I could go around
I'm on my way back home
I'm on my way back home
I'm on my way back home
