Man,
he's a young man who's left home to be on his way
Trying to make it in
Nashville,
New
York or
L .A.
Livin' in places he's
only heard of before
Walkin' the streets and
knockin' on every door
He's gonna make it no
matter how long it takes
Can't understand why that record
man flat -turned us down
Cause everyone says we're the
best coffee band in this town
But the weeks turn to months and the
months turn to years so fast
Damn it, I know that this losing
streak just can't last
We're gonna stay here cause we
got some music to play
Makes you wanna go home
Sometimes you wonder,
would you be good?
At least they know your name and
Mama's cookies sure sounds good.
But things ain't ever gonna be
the way they were before.
And you know you're only dreaming.
You can't ever go home anymore.
They had your 8th class
reunion yesterday
And
Mary got married last spring and your
dad passed away
Well, you ought to come home and take care
of your mom, they say
But you got the fever and there ain't no
The reward will be sweet
when it comes
Makes you want to go home
Sometimes you wonder
would you if you could
At least they'd know your name
And mama's cooking sure sounds good
But things ain't ever gonna be
The way they were before
And you know you're only dreaming
You can't ever go home anymore
Sometimes you wonder what if you could
At least say no,
your name and mama's cookies
sure sounds good
But things ain't ever gonna
be the way they were before
And you know you're only dreaming
You can't ever go home anymore
you
