Who Says You Can't Go Home?

"I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place
I was looking for something I couldn't replace
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known
Like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
I been there, done thatand I ain't lookin' back on the seeds I've sown,
Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone
Who says you can't go home?"

I feel like I've spent the last 22 years, specifically, trying to get out of my hometown. To get away from everyone I've ever known, to start fresh.

Now, I'm 6 months away from doing just that, with the plan to return in a year.

What if I find, I can't return? Or that I don't want to?

I think I found Tommy. 
And maybe, I'm still trying to live on a prayer.

That's it... I am.
And if you think about it, who isn't?
A hope, a prayer, a dream?

I hope that 10 years from now, I'm still hijacking rainbows. And with the two I love, and my two children to share that with me.
