Intro

Verse
D          Bm           D
Years grow shorter not longer
  D            Bm           D
The more you've been on your own.
D            Bm           D                        
Feelings for moving grow stronger
      C               G       D
So you wonder why you ever go home,
C              G       D
Wonder why you ever go home.

People are moving so quicky,
Humor's in need of repair.
Same occupations and same obligations
They really got nothing to share,
Like driving around with no spare.

Interlude

River gets deeper not shallow
The further you move down the stream.
Wondering if I can keep her
As I race to catch up to my dreams,
How they shine glitter and gleam.

Years grow shorter not longer
The more you've been on your own.
Feelings for moving grow stronger
So you wonder why you ever go home.
Wonder why you ever go home.
