I miss my home town I'd love to be home now It's not as bad as I thought it was But it's a small town with not much going on That's what I've grown to love and I'm proud of where I'm from I miss the beaches We used to go there at night Use the fire as light as I stare out into nothing Now I'm in the big smoke with the highest of hopes I've got my case on the road and I stick to all I know 'Cause I could go home anytime I like I'll pack my bags and I'll be on the next flight I'd love to be in two places at once But, oh you know, I must choose one The day I left, I made my mother cry She said I'll see you later, now don't you say goodbye I still think about my father's last words too He said you know you've always got a place to come back to 'Cause I could go home anytime I like I'll pack my bags and I'll be on the next flight I'd love to be in two places at once But, oh you know, I must choose one A close friend of mine just had a baby girl Less than one week old She's so welcome in this world I held her for the first time as though she was mine Lost myself in her eyes And she made me realize That I could go home anytime I like I'll pack my bags and I'll be on the next flight And who's to say I can't be two places at once I must choose one I must choose one I must choose one It's this one
