You May Leave Your Hometown

You may leave your hometown on your journey to elsewhere For to start a new life in the big World out there You may think you are leaving your past behind but you have got it wrong For wherever you go to your past with you goes along Though long absent from your hometown and from there you live far away Old memories of what was are with you today On your flights of fancy you walk on your first home street And your friends of the past you are happy to meet Your physical best years in the forever gone And the clock on your life ever keeps ticking on In the park playground you watch your grandchildren play You too had your young fun in a park far awy Since in your early twenties you left your hometown The roadways of life you have been up and down Good memories of what was in you does remain And in your nostalgic moments you go home again.
