No one knows
What's waiting where you go
Nothings certain but the fact that you're leaving
But still you roam
From the straight and narrow road
Riding nothing but the lies that you believe in
Frame after frame
The pictures still remain
Photographs of all the hearts you've broken
Frozen in time
Are the ghosts you left behind
Waiting for the words you left unspoken
Dear Home Town
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
The dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear Home Town
Tell the girl
It's a wide and wondrous world
Room enough to leave a life your hating
The highway runs both ways
And there's seat's left on the train
If you take it to the station, I'll be waiting
Tell my Ma
That I miss her lovin' smile
Tell my Father
That I really miss his laughter
Tell my sisters and brothers
My friends and all the others
That we'll meet in the Sweetest Hereafter
What's waiting where you go
Nothings certain but the fact that you're leaving
But still you roam
From the straight and narrow road
Riding nothing but the lies that you believe in
Frame after frame
The pictures still remain
Photographs of all the hearts you've broken
Frozen in time
Are the ghosts you left behind
Waiting for the words you left unspoken
Dear Home Town
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
The dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear Home Town
Tell the girl
It's a wide and wondrous world
Room enough to leave a life your hating
The highway runs both ways
And there's seat's left on the train
If you take it to the station, I'll be waiting

That I miss her lovin' smile
Tell my Father
That I really miss his laughter
