Well I pulled in to my old town
A town I hadn't seen in years
I'd forgotten the names of the streets
And the names of my old peers
My old house and my old school
They pretty much looked the same
But there was something dark underneath
Something I could not name
You can't go home again
No you can't go home again
There ain't nothing for you there
There ain't no one who gives a care
I went to a bar to get me a drink
And I saw my old buddy Joe
I asked him what he'd been up to
And he said, Who really wants to know
You've not been back here since '72
So it's not like you give a shit
Whoever we are, whatever we do
Look around, this is it
Joe and I got into his truck
And we drove out to Buzzards Dam
We talked about the old times
And when he got back from Nam
Joe, he got pretty shit-faced
And said, Some things never last
I'm not sure what the answer is
But it doesn't exist in the past
