lyrics

My hometown was a mile square
And it looked out on the river and a stand of pines
Some friends and family still live there
And I picture it frozen in time

I grew up, moved away
And I traveled this country from coast to coast
And I lived a life halfway around the world
And I keep a step ahead of my ghosts

Driving me forward but dragging me down
Every road leads to the same damn town

Take me away from here
I just keep running down the same old track
Take me away from here
I just can’t help myself to keep from running back
And when I get here all I want to be is gone

Found a partner and became a wife
And I looked out on this new land I had found
And I poured my heart into this new life
And never even noticed the cracking ground

Fall through space, fall through time
The landscape has been forever changed
I keep on looking for the same old signs
But everywhere I go I am estranged

Somebody’s vision I thought was my own
Maybe it’s true that you can’t go home

Take me away from here
I just keep running down the same old track
Take me away from here
I just can’t help myself to keep from running back
And when I get here all I want to be is gone

If the grass is always greener
If in is out and out is always in
I’ll be always in between or wishing I could live in someone else’s skin
