Words and music by bob seger Passed the old church on the edge of town Trailways bus was right on time Passed your uncles store on main street His old truck was parked outside Everything seemed so much larger then This old town has hardly grown Has it really been ten long years Now youre finally comin home Comin home Youve been gone so very long Comin home Youll just say youre comin home You left your hometown for the city lights You were young and you were strong Lots of traffic lots of sleepless nights Lots of dreams that all went wrong Youll just tell them what they want to hear How you took the place by storm You wont tell them how you lost it all Youll just say youre comin home Comin home You grew tired of being alone Comin home Youll just say youre comin home
