Back In Your Town

(album: Lifetime Achievement - 2022)

I'm back in your town, I'm walking around
Crossing the street, unsure on my feet
And I'm carefully looking around
Because I'm back in your town

I'm back in this burg. Oh, haven't you heard?
I better look to the right, double decker just might
Hit me when I step off the curb
That's why I'm back in this burg

Yes and I'm back in that place. Last time I left with hardly a trace
Now that I have returned ask me what I have learned
Go ahead and take a look on my face
I'm back in that place

You'll leave someone behind and you think you won't mind it
Till you go back and find you still care
Yeah, you're back where you started, undermined, outsmarted
By a feeling you thought wasn't there

It's still there. You know

I walked right past your house feeling like a refugee and a louse
You were at home but you were not alone
You were there with your kids and your spouse
I walked right past your house

Yes, and I'm feeling bereft, I'm feeling like I never even left
Everything's changed but is the same
It's still all here but nothing is left
I'm feeling bereft

You'll leave someone behind and you think you won't mind it
Till you go back and find you still care
Yeah, you're back where you started, undermined, outsmarted
By a feeling you thought wasn't there

I'm back in your town, I'm walking around
Crossing the street, unsure on my feet
And I'm carefully looking around
Hey, I'm back in your town
