You Can't Go Home

So much silence to my hometown streets

Gonna put my cheek to the window and watch it sleep

Where the shadow's fall from sycamore trees

Fight off this north wind and I'll be headin' back east



And let the Colorado river roll on to the sea

I will be crossing it changes

And this 'ole town never did really care

That much for me

I don't know why I always come here

In my dreams



It's the hardest to hold, but it's the easiest to find

If you'll slip for the dollar, I'll fall in the wine

But you cannot save your past for today

It will leave you cold on an outbound train



And let the Colorado river roll on to the sea

I will be crossing it changes

And this 'ole town never did really care

That much for me

I don't know why I always come here

In my dreams



Folded memories in my soul

It's that old blue line that you can never go back home

So I'm waiting for the moon to rise

As it'll kiss my tears away and set my heart in line



And let the Colorado river roll on to the sea

I will be crossing it changes

And this 'ole town never did really care

That much for me

I don't know why I always come here

In my dreams



And let the Colorado river roll on to the sea

I will be crossing it changes

And this 'ole town never did really care

That much for me

I only come here to remember my dreams

Sleep tight

Hill Country town

Goodnight
