The hardest part of going home
Is facing that you’re getting older
And everything you’ve ever known
Is over, is over, is over, is over
Down by the water
Where the auburn leaves were shinin’
Holding hands with my father
And I swear I saw him cry
‘Cause it’s been so long
And the days soon gone
And the hardest part of going home
Is facing that you’re getting older
And everything you’ve ever known
Is over, mm
And all the paths are overgrown
The sun is down, it’s getting colder
And everything you’ve ever known
Is over, is over
In your eyes, I see the fire
That so long ago was burnin’
Through our smiles, we’ve tried to hide it
All the years that we’ve been hurtin’
We don’t get too long
That’s why I’m holdin’ on
And the hardest part of going home
Is facing that you’re getting older
And everything you’ve ever known
Is over, mm
And all the paths are overgrown
The sun is down, it’s getting colder
And everything you’ve ever known
Is over, is over, is over, is over
Is over, is over
Yeah, the hardest part of going home
Is facing that you’re getting older
And everything you’ve ever known
Is over, Is over
And all the paths are overgrown
The sun is down, it’s getting colder
And everything you’ve ever known
Is over, is over, is over, is over
