Lyrics

I spent (G5)twen ty years try’n’ to get (Csus2)out of this place.

I was (Am7)look ing for some thing I (Csus2)could n’t re place.

I was (G5)run ning a way from the on ly thing I’ve ev (D)er known.

Like a blind dog with (Csus2)out a bone, I was a (Am7)gyp sy lost in the twi light zone.

I (G5)hi jacked a rain bow and (Csus2)crashed

in to a pot (D)of gold.

I been there, done that; But I ain’t look ing back on the seeds I’ve sown.

Sav ing (Bm)dimes,

spend ing too much time on the tel (D)e phone.

(D5)Who says you can’t go (G5)home.

Who says you (Csus2)can’t go home; there’s (Am7)on ly one place they call me (Csus2)one of their own.

Just a (G5)home town boy born a roll ing (D)stone.

(D5)Who says you can’t go (G5)home.

Who says you (Csus2)can’t go back.

Been (Am7)all a round the world, and, as a (Csus2)mat ter of fact, there’s (G5)on ly one place left I want to (D)go.

(D5)Who says you can’t go (G5)home.

It’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right.

I went as (G5)far as I could, I tried to (Csus2)find a new face; there is n’t (Am7)one of these lines that (Csus2)I would e rase.

I lived a (G5)mil lion miles of mem ’ries on that road.

With ev ’ry (G5)step I take, I know that (Csus2)I’m not a lone; you take the (Am7)home from the boy, but not the (Csus2)boy from his home.

(G5)These are my streets, the (Csus2)on ly life I’ve ev (D)er known.

(Dsus)Who says you (D5)can’t go Who says you can’t go (G5)home.

It’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right.

Who says you can’t go (G5)home.

I been there, done that; And I ain’t look ing back.

It’s been a long, long road.

Feels (Bm)like I nev er left; that’s how the sto (D)ry goes.

It does n’t (G5)mat ter where you are, it does n’t (Csus2)mat ter where you go, if it’s a (Am7)mil lion miles a way or just a (Csus2)mile up the road; take it in.

Take it with you when you (D5)go.

Who says you can’t go (G5)home.

Who says you (Csus2)can’t go home; there’s (Am7)on ly one place they call me (Csus2)one of their own.

Just a (G5)home town boy born a roll ing (D)stone.

(D5)Who says you can’t go (G5)home.

Who says you (Csus2)can’t go back.

Been (Am7)all a round the world, and as a (Csus2)mat ter of fact, there’s (G5)on ly one place left I wan na go.

(D5)Who says you can’t go (G5)home.

It’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right.

(home.) It’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right.

Who says you can’t go (home.) It’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right.

Who says you can’t go Who says you can’t go (home.) It’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right.

Who says you can’t go Who says you can’t go Who says you can’t go (G5)home.
