I'm just a fool - no disguise
I still get hurt - same old pride
But growing older - I've realized
There's not a place - in my life - tonight

I ain't gonna leave this town no more
I'm sorry for the times that I did before
I'm going back to where my heart came from
I ain't gonna leave this town again
I'm sorry for the things I did but then
I didn't realize where I belonged

Shakin' the blues - every night
Been all alone - no surprise
Don't you forget me - I'm so blind
I'm coming back - one more time - tonight

I ain't gonna leave this town no more
I'm sorry for the times that I did before
I'm going back to where my heart came from
I ain't gonna leave this town again
I'm sorry for the things I did but then
I didn't realize where I belonged

If these streets were empty
With nothing to see
You could take me from this town
Oh but you won't take this town out of me
Too many years - can't forget
So many dreams - ain't done yet
An' all of these memories - still the same
I'm going home - and I'll remain - unchanged

I ain't gonna leave this town no more
I'm sorry for the times that I did before
I'm going back to where my heart came from
I ain't gonna leave this town again
I'm sorry for the things I did but then
I didn't realize where I belonged
