[Verse 1]
I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place
I was looking for something I couldn't replace
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known

Like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
I been there, done that and I ain't looking back on the seeds I've sown

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone
Who says you can't go home?

[Chorus 1]
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone

Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact

There's only one place left I want to go
Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright

[Verse 2]
I went as far as I could
I tried to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I lived a million miles of memories on that road

With every step I take I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy
But not the boy from his home

[Pre-Chorus 2]
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known
Who says you can't go home

[Chorus 2]
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone

Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact

There's only one place left I want to go
Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright

[Bridge]
I been there, done that and I ain't looking back
It's been a long long road
Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes

[Verse 3]
It doesn't matter where you are
It doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles away
Or just a mile up the road

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Take it in, take it with you when you go
Who says you can't go home?

[Chorus 3]
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone

Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact

There's only one place left I want to go
Who says you can't go home?

[Outro 1]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go home?

[Interlude]
Now wait a minute?
I don't wanna go!
Let me take them all home!

[Outro 2]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go home?
