I spent twenty years trying to get out of this place

I was looking for something I couldn't replace

I was running away from the only thing I've ever known



Like a blind dog without a bone

I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone

I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold



I been there, done that 

I ain't lookin' back on the seeds I've sown

Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone

Who says you can't go home



Chorus:

Who says you can't go home

There's only one place they call me one of their own

Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone

Who says you can't go home

Who says you can't go back

Been all around the world and as a matter of fact

There's only one place left I want to go

Who says you can't go home

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright



I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face

There isn't one of these lines that I would erase

I lived a million miles of memories on that road



With every step I take I know that I'm not alone

You take the home from the boy

But not the boy from his home

These are my streets, the only life I've ever known

Who says you can't go home



(Chorus)



Who says you can't go home

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Who says you can't go home



I been there, done that 

I ain't looking back

It's been a long, long road

Feels like I never left

That's how the story goes



It doesn't matter where you are

It doesn't matter where you go

If it's a million miles aways or just a mile up the road

Take it in, take it with you when you go

Who says you can't go home



(Chorus)



It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Who says you can't go home

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Who says you can't go home

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Who says you can't go home
