[Verse 1]
Of all the stupid things I could have thought
This was the worst
I started to believe that I was born at seventeen
And all the stupid things, the letters and the broken verse
Stayed hidden at the bottom of the drawer
They'd always been
And now I plough through piles of
Bills, receipts, and credit cards and
Tickets and the Daily News and sometimes I just
[Chorus]
Wanna go back to my home town
Though I know it'll never be the same
Back to my home town
'Cause it's been so long
And I'm wondering if it's still there (Ooh hoo)
[Verse 2]
We think we're pretty smart, us city slickers get around
And when the going's rough
We kill the pain and relocate
We're never married, never faithful, not to any town
But we never leave the past behind
We just accumulate
So sometimes when the music stops
I seem to hear a distant sound
Of waves and seagulls, football crowds, and church bells
Of all the stupid things I could have thought
This was the worst
I started to believe that I was born at seventeen
And all the stupid things, the letters and the broken verse
Stayed hidden at the bottom of the drawer
They'd always been
And now I plough through piles of
Bills, receipts, and credit cards and
Tickets and the Daily News and sometimes I just
[Chorus]
Wanna go back to my home town
Though I know it'll never be the same
Back to my home town
'Cause it's been so long
And I'm wondering if it's still there (Ooh hoo)
[Verse 2]
We think we're pretty smart, us city slickers get around
And when the going's rough
We kill the pain and relocate
We're never married, never faithful, not to any town
But we never leave the past behind
We just accumulate
So sometimes when the music stops
I seem to hear a distant sound
Of waves and seagulls, football crowds, and church bells
