[Verse 1]
G          C/D          G          C/D
Years grow shorter, not longer,
G               C/D          G     C/D
The more you've been on your own.
G            C/D         G         C/D
Feelin's for movin' grow stronger
       F              C       G
So you wonder why you ever go home,
F              C       G
Wonder why you ever go home.

[Verse 2]

People are movin' so quickly.
G          C/D    G          C/D
Humor's in need of repair.
G                C/D      G           C/D
Same occupations and same obligations
        F          C          G
They've really got nothing to share,
     F              C       G
Like drivin' around with no spare.

River gets deeper not shallow
G               C/D           G       C/D
The further you move down the stream.
G           C/D        G    C/D
Wonderin if I can keep her
     F       C               G
As I Race to keep up with my dreams.
F        C                     G
How they shine and glitter and gleam.

Wonder why you ever go home.
F              C       G
Wonder why you ever go home.
