The hardest part of going home
Is facing that you're getting older
And everything you've ever known
Is over, is over, is over, is over
Where the auburn leaves were shinin'
Holding hands with my father
And I swear I saw him cry
And the hardest part of going home
Is facing that you're getting older
And everything you've ever known
And all the paths are overgrown
The sun is down, it's getting colder
And everything you've ever known
In your eyes, I see the fire
That so long ago was burnin'
Through our smiles, we've tried to hide it
All the years that we've been hurtin'
That's why I'm holdin' on
And the hardest part of going home
Is facing that you're getting older
And everything you've ever known
And all the paths are overgrown
The sun is down, it's getting colder
And everything you've ever known
Is over, is over, is over, is over
Yeah, the hardest part of going home
Is facing that you're getting older
And everything you've ever known
And all the paths are overgrown
The sun is down, it's getting colder
And everything you've ever known
Is over, is over, is over, is over
