I swore I'd make this town famous
Instead I'm just a tourist with old emotions
A stranger in the world where I came from
I go by a different name, they don't call me either one
With time behind the wheel it all goes a little too fast
(A little too fast)
Where was I when the golden years came to pass
(You can never go back)
Turn the car around take me into town
With city lights and cigarettes I can't go back home again
Turn the radio as loud as it will go
Playing songs so I forget I can't go back home again
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
I park my car at the fountain
From that Friday night when we saw Kyle get punched by the wrong guy
I dip my feet in that water and
Felt it rush all over those old emotions
Turn the car around take me into town
With city lights and cigarettes I can't go back home again
Turn the radio as loud as it will go
Playing songs so I forget I can't go back home again
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
I wasted all my youth pretending I was grown
What am I wasting now
I was running from the future I never saw it come
I wanna slow it down
With time behind the wheel it all goes a little too fast
Turn the car around, take me into town
With city lights and cigarettes I can't go back home again
Turn the radio as load as it will go
Playing songs so I forget I can't go back home again
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
