One in a million is a lonely town two hundred people
trying to keep me down I've taken all I can
I aint lookin' back small town boy in a back yard lot
I can't make a livin' with the luck I've got
I'm gonna leave it all I aint lookin' back
FIRST CHORUS: That's the way I remember
seemed to me when I was young
but I can still see the leaves slowly fall to the ground
and the snow on the trees as the winter comes down
still I go home a-gain in my heart
My father worked hard on the railroad tracks
37 years cut across his back he gave it all he had
for what he believed like every other kid that came
before I grew up believing there was something more
and I still believe I still believe
LAST CHORUS: That's the way I remember
it seemed to me when I was young
but I can still see the lightning on a warm summer night
and the rain on the window when I close my eyes
I can still hear us laughing on the front porch
in the dark there are days when I know
that I've traveled so far that I'll never find the road
leading back to the start still I go home a-gain
in my heart still I go home a-gain in my heart
in my heart in my heart
