Wonder Why We Ever Go Home

by Jimmy Buffett

from the album Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes

Lyrics

Years grow shorter, not longer
the more you’ve been on your own
Feelin’s for movin’ grow stronger’
so you wonder why you ever go home
wonder why you ever go home

People are movin’ so quickly
Humor’s in need of repair
Same occupations and same obligations
they’ve really got nothing to share
like drivin’ around with no spare

River gets deeper not shallow
the further you move down the stream
Wonderin’ if I can keep her as I
race to keep up with my dreams
How they shine and glitter and gleam

Years grow shorter, not longer
the more you’ve been on your own
Feelin’s for movin’ grow stronger’
so you wonder why you ever go home
wonder why you ever go home
wonder why you ever go home
