First Texaco station just outside of town
Feels good to be needed, kinda wanna turn around
The first pack of smokes I bought in the last three days
I've been hiding 'em from mama, I know she hates those things
But I still light one up and she'll still love me anyway
I'm a rolling stone, never can stay long
Leaving is a bittersweet freedom
Even if I drive a million miles
I can never shake that feeling
Kinda takes me back, kinda takes a toll
Kinda breaks my heart, kinda makes me whole
That's the way it goes
Coming back from going home
Yeah, there's a strip mall where the Lucky Strike used to be
The cookie cutter houses that used to be evergreens
And the one that got away didn't really go nowhere
She moved back halfway through college, got stuck cuttin' hair
But I still kinda wonder what kinda life we could've made
But I'm a rolling stone, never can stay long
Leaving is a bittersweet freedom
Even if I drive a million miles
I can never shake that feeling
Kinda takes me back, kinda takes a toll
Kinda breaks my heart, kinda makes me whole
That's the way it goes
Coming back from going home
You love it, you hate it
You leave it, you take it for granted, yeah
I'm a rolling stone, never can stay long
Leaving is a bittersweet freedom
Even if I drive a million miles
I can never shake that feeling
Kinda takes me back, kinda takes a toll
Kinda breaks my heart, kinda makes me whole
That's the way it goes
Coming back from going home
From going home
