It’s been twelve years since you went away Twelve empty years away from home And you’re feeling tired, tired of your change And you wish you’d never gone
‘Cause you feel you’re walking down the streets alone ‘Cause you’re on your own And you need someone who makes you miss your home When the day is done
You climbed into that bus and ran away You let it take you to the last stop You left without a word to your sons, your wife, your friends Blinded by a shooting star
You went riding somewhere across the desert fields With no reason why You just left behind your life to chase a dream It was the wrong dream
But it’s all right – you think It’s all right – she says It’s all right, you did the right thing But something still makes you miss those days
And you’re tired of walking down the streets alone Yes, you’re on your own And you need someone who makes you miss your home When the day is done (You’re chasing the wrong dream)
