Story
Maybe you can’t go home, but you can never forget. This was my Dad’s favorite of the songs I wrote. We both put a few miles behind us before we settled down. Glad to have Roger Ferguson helping us out on mandolin.

Lyrics
Going Home isn't easy, no matter how you try;
It's sure a lot of changes are bound to catch your eye.
I found myself in trouble and I found myself alone,
But looking back I always knew I could have had a home.
I was just eighteen when I struck off on my own.
I took off like a bandit half afraid and all alone.
It didn't seem to matter just where I planned to roam,
But I never thought I'd settle down so far away from home.
Being here isn't easy when I long to be with you;
Remembering the times we had and the things we used to do.
It wasn't so important when I was in my teens, but
Now I'm much older and this life is just a dream.
CHORUS
Well it seems like everyplace I go and everything I do,
Someone comes along who reminds me of you.
I never met a single one I thought could take your place,
With the laughter in your heart and the smile upon your face.
CHORUS
