Dear Home Town

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 --- Dear Home Town - Great Big Sea
