Wonder Why We Ever Go Home

By: jimmy buffett

1977

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 go 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 catch 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

You wonder why you ever go home
