Wonder Why We Ever Go Home - Jimmy Buffett

Years grow shorter, not longer

More you’ve been on your own

Feelings for moving grow stronger

So you wonder why you ever go home

Wonder why you ever go home

People are moving so quickly

Humor’s in need of repair

Same occupations and same obligations

They’ve really got nothing to share

Like driving around with no spare

River gets deeper not shallow

Further you move down the stream

Wondering if I can keep her

As I race to catch up with my dream

How they shine and glitter and gleam

Years grow shorter, not longer

More you’ve been on your own

Feelings for moving grow stronger

So you wonder why you ever go home

Wonder why you ever go home

You wonder why you ever go home
