"Dear Home Town" lyrics

No one knows
What's waiting; where you go
Nothing's certain but the fact
That you're leaving
Still, you roam
From the straight and narrow road
Riding nothing but the lies
That you believe in

Frame after frame
The pictures all 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

Ho no no!

Dear home town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
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
There's room enough
To leave a life you're hating
And the highway runs both ways
And there's seats left on the train
And if you take it to the station
I'll be waiting

Ho no no!

Dear home town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear home town

And tell my mom:
I miss her loving smile
And tell my father:
I really miss his laughter
Tell my sisters and my brothers
Tell my friends and all the others
That we'll meet in the sweetest hereafter

Ho no no no no no no!

Dear home town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone

Dear home town:
I never meant to let you down
When I sold my soul for a song
Dreams are to blame
They still linger and remain
In the heart of a child who's been gone
Dear home town

Dear home town
