I came back home

Stood on stage in my home town

Took a breath and looked around

Familiar eyes, friendly smiles

Across the years, across the miles

Here's my story, here's my song

My God, I've been away too long



Shook a hand, forgot a name

Friendly voice was still the same

How is Mister So and So?

Mom & Dad have moved, you know

Heard the summer wasn't much

Nice to see you, keep in touch



Heart is pounding, legs are week

Tears are rolling down my cheek

The audience is standing now

Smile and wave boy, take a bow

This is some kind of victory

I came back home, and home came back home with me.
