[Intro] [Verse 1] Drove in with the windows down, Same old sign on the edge of town, Same old diner with the broken seat, Same old summer on the same old street. [Pre-Chorus] But the kids on the corner don't know my name, The paint's still peeling in the same old frame, And I don't know why I came. [Chorus] Same old street, but the kid is gone, Same old record, same old song, I came back chasing who I used to be, He's not home, but the town still waits for me. [Verse 2] Corner store where I learned to smoke, Same old man with the same old joke, Same old posters on the window glass, Same old names in the senior class. [Pre-Chorus] Every face in the yearbook's changed, Every road on the map's been rearranged, And I'm standing here like nothing's strange. [Chorus] Same old street, but the kid is gone, Same old record, same old song, I came back chasing who I used to be, He's not home, but the town still waits for me. [Guitar Solo — melodic, overdriven, long sustained bends, piano underneath] [Bridge] Maybe home is not a street or a name, Maybe home is just the way you came, Maybe all the years I ran away Were the long way back to this one day. [Final Chorus — key change up a whole step] Same old street, but the kid is gone, Same old record, same old song, I came back chasing who I used to be, He's not home, but the town still waits for me. [Outro] Same old street… Same old song… I'm still the kid, I just stayed away too long.
