No matter how far you run

This is where I was born
This is my childhood home
White curtains in every room
This is where my father ruled
This is my hometown
This is where I come from
I hated all this deep inside
This I tried to escape from
For a long time
     No matter how far you run
     No matter how far you ride
     No matter how fast you run
     No matter how hard you try
     You carry your parentage deep inside

This is where I grew up
These streets I hated that much
The narrowness of a small town
Smugness all around
Every front yard looks alike
White fences and concreted drives
I hated all this deep inside
This I tried to escape from
For a long time
     No matter how far you run
     No matter how far you ride
     No matter how fast you run
     No matter how hard you try
     You carry your parentage deep inside

This is where I went to school
Surrounded by so many fools
The teachers didn’t understand
I never had a lot of friends
This is where I fell in love
But she kidded me from the start
She had a bit on the side
This I tried to replace
All the time
     No matter how far you run
     No matter how far you ride
     No matter how fast you run
     No matter how hard you try
     You carry your past deep inside

This is my childhood home
Filled with the love of my mom
This is were I grew up
Where my father taught me so much
This is where I was born
This is my hometown
This is where I come from
This is where I belong,
This is my home
