Had a dream last night
I was back in the neighborhood
Hanging with the boys in the band on the street
We were talking bout' moving to Hollywood
Livin' from hand to mouth
Thought we had it all figured out
With nothing but a heart filled up with dreams
But I know now what I didn't know then
I know now what I didn't know then
There's this hipster café
In the place where the butcher was
It's like the Champs Elysese
Back in my old neighborhood
All my neighbors are gone
Cashed out and moved away
Can't afford it anyway no more
They got those same sidewalk cracks
Same place that they used to be
But most everything else
Just ancient history
And though so much has changed
Nothing more than a memory remains
Just a memory remains
You can't go home again
When you go you're gone forever
Though you swear you'll never let it get that far, oh no
You can't go home again
Keep reaching for something better
And remember home is always in your heart
It's always in your heart, oh
I got this place in my brain
I go to every now and then
Where I turn back the time
To this secret place inside my mind
And I know it ain't true
Cause those glory days are a long time gone
It's all a long time gone
You can't go home again
When you go you're gone forever
Though you swear you'll never let it get that far, oh no
You can't go home again
Keep reaching for something better
And remember home is always in your heart
It's always in your heart, oh
No matter where you go it's not that far, oh
And I know now what I didn't know then
Yeah I know now what I didn't know then
I know now what I didn't know then
You can't go back home again
Had a dream last night
I was back in the neighborhood
Back in the neighborhood
