I went back to my hometown Christmas snow was on the ground Saw the girl who used to be Everything in the world to me We went down to my old school Walked the halls remembering the rules Thought of friends who used to be Everything in the world to me My family moved far away We never did return That girl found someone else to love Here's the one thing that I learned You can go home And that's a fact You can go home But you can't go back Saw the house where she used to live Saw the park where we first kissed Saw the dream that used to be Everything in the world to me Everything in the world to me Now just a faded memory All these years I heard it callin' me You can go home And that's a fact You can go home But you can't go back You can go home And that's a fact, that's a fact You can go home But you can't go back
