lyrics

I feel like I'm letting you down, old home of mine
I'm losing my grip, getting further from you all the time

Your street lights lead me on, to somewhere new
And as they're glowing, i keep growing apart from you

Old home town I'm gone
You ain't my home no more
Old home town I'm gone
I'm going where, I've never been before

Distant shores are calling me from your embrace
A siren to my sailing ship,  the fire that fuels the blaze

My old home you raised and made a man of me
You helped me find my one true love, but now I'm breaking free

Old home town I'm gone
You ain't my home no more
Old home town I'm gone
Ain't no love lost, it's just time to move along

I won't ever forget
The time I spent here
The friends I've made
Brought laughter, joy, and tears
Don’t you know they’re gonna fall
When I say farewell
But this ain't good bye
Just putting my boots down somewhere else
Oh, oh woah woah

Old home town I'm gone
You ain't my home no more
Old home town I'm gone
I'm moving o——n

Oh old home town I'm gone
You ain't my home no more
Old home town I'm gone
I'm moving on, got to heed the siren's call
