When I was a little boy
I was so shy and resolute
Someone knocking at the front door
I'd go and hide in my room
And if you call me on the telephone
I wouldn't wanna talk with you
Yeah when I was a little boy
I was so shy and resolute
And when I was seventeen
I felt like I had it all
I left school, I moved towns, I got a job
Working in a grocery store
I didn't wanna go too far
And I never really wanted more
Yeah when I was seventeen
I felt like I had it all
Now I'm a little older
And I feel more like a man
Now I'm a little wiser
I can find my way back home again
I'm going back to Bowenville
Where people know your name
I'm going back to Bowenville
Where everything stays the same
Bowenville don't change
And when I turned twenty-six
Well I just walked away
I think about it all the time
What if I had've stayed?
But there's nothing that a man can do
To rewind his yesterdays
Yeah when I turned twenty-six
Well I just walked away
Now I'm a little older
And I feel more like a man
Now I'm a little wiser
I can find my way back home again
I'm going back to Bowenville
Where people know your name
I'm going back to Bowenville
Where everything stays the same
I'm going back to Bowenville
Where people know your name
I'm going back to Bowenville
Where everything stays the same
I'm going back to Bowenville
Where people know your name
I'm going back to Bowenville
Where everything stays the same
Bowenville don't change
Bowenville don't change
