lyrics

I know how things ought to be
And it's not quite like what you now see
But there's a faint reflection of quaint familiarity...
The bank became a liquor store
It's near the bar in case you need some more
Up the road's a pawn shop
Where they'll let you sell your dignity
Vacant buildings all around
A giant cross planted in the ground
...and I feel so disconnected
From the life I knew from memory

They say you never can go home again
'Cause it will only bring you down
Well there's a part of me that I've never left behind
I'm now a stranger to this town...

I keep on trying to go home again
Oh, but it only brings me down
There's a part of me that I'm trying hard to find
That's now a stranger to this town

That's not a stranger to this town
