it's been a long, long time since this road's rolled beneath my wheels
yeah the clock ticks on through the years that it steals
and though the town is changing
the memories still live here
the ghosts come out to greet me
as the past becomes so near

it seems the time moves faster
with every passing day
a shame sometimes the call we hear must lead us far away

(chorus)

it feels good to be home
where I spent my early days
it's good to see the faces
though we've all gone our own ways
those days are gone forever
and they're far behind
it seems like yesterday
is still fresh in my mind

now shopping centers stand where
there were trees and nothing more
and one-lane country roads
are wider than before
though the town is changing
i guess that i have too
we've built upon the memories
but what are you supposed to do

and just like landscapes people change
as they move through their lives
but underneath they stay the same
as each new day arrives

(chorus)
