Who Says You Can't Go Home Songtext
von Bon Jovi

I spent 20 years tryin′ to get out of this place
I was lookin' for somethin′ I couldn't replace
I was runnin' away from the only thing I′ve ever known
And 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′ve been there, done that, now I ain't lookin′ back
And the seeds I've sown, savin′ dimes
Spendin' too much time on the telephone

(Who says you can′t go home?)
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rollin′ stone
(Who says you can′t go home?)
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There′s only one place left I wanna go
Who says you can't go home?
It′s alright, it's alright, it′s alright, it's alright, it's alright


I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face
There isn′t one of these lines that I would erase
I′ve left a million miles of memories on that road
Every step I take, I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy but not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the only life I′ve ever known

(Who says you can't go home?)
Who says you can′t go home?
There's only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rollin′ stone
(Who says you can't go home?)
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There′s only one place left, I wanna go
Who says you can′t go home?

It's alright, it′s alright, it's alright, it′s alright, it's alright
Who says you can′t go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it′s alright, it′s alright, it's alright
Who says you can′t go home?

I've been there, done that, and I ain′t looking back
It's been a long, long road
Feels like I never left, that′s how the story goes
It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go
If it′s a million miles away or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go


(Who says you can′t go home?)
Who says you can't go home?
There′s only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rollin' stone
(Who says you can′t go home?)
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There′s only one place left I wanna go
Who says you can't go home?

It's alright, it′s alright, it′s alright, it's alright, it′s alright, it's alright
It′s alright, it's alright, it′s alright, it's alright, it's alright
Who says you can′t go home?
It′s alright, it's alright, it′s alright, it's alright, it′s alright
Who says you can't go home?
It′s alright, it's alright, it's alright, it′s alright, it′s alright
Who says you can't go home?
