I went back to my hometown
christmas snow was on the ground
saw the girl who used to be
everything in the world to me
We went down to my old school
walked the halls remembering the rules
thought of friends who used to be
everything in the world to me
My family moved far away
we never did return
that girl found someone else to love
here's the one thing that i learned
You can go home
and that's a fact
you can go home
but you can't go back
Saw the house where she used to live
saw the park where we first kissed
saw the dream that used to be
everything in the world to me
Everything in the world to me
now just a faded memory
all these years
i heard it callin' me
You can go home
and that's a fact
you can go home
but you can't go back
You can go home
and that's a fact, that's a fact
you can go home
but you can't go back
