| Wonder why you | ever go | home |
| People are movin' so quickly |
| Humor's in need of repair |
| Same occupations and same obligations |
| They've really go nothing to share |
| Like drivin' around with no spare |
| River gets deeper not shallow |
| The further you move down the stream |
| Wonderin' if I can keep her |
| As I race to catch up with my dreams |
| How they shine and glitter and gleam |
| Years grow shorter, not longer |
| The more you've been on your own |
| Feelin's for movin' grow stronger |
| So you wonder why you ever go home |
| Wonder why you ever go home |
| You wonder why you ever go home |
