         G                      C
I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place
       Am                       C
I was lookin' for something, I couldn't replace
       G                    C               D
I was runnin' away from the only thing I've ever known

And like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold

Em                      C                    G
I've been there, done that, I ain't lookin' back

on the seeds I've sown,
        Bm              C
saving dimes, spending too much time on the
 D                               G
telephone Who says you can't go home

Chorus:
G              C
Who says, you can't go home
        Am                          C
There's only one place that call me one of their own
        G             C               D
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling-stone,
                       G
who says you can't go home

Who says you can't go back,
been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go,
who says you can't go home
                      C                           Am  C
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright...

I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I lived a million miles of memories on that road
With every step I take I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known
Who says you can't go home

Chorus

I been there, done that and I ain't looking back
It's been a long long road
Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes
It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles aways or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go
Who says you can't go home

Chorus

It's alright, it's alright,
it's alright, it's alright, its alright
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go home
