| Well, Tommy stepped away
|
| From the world for awhile
|
| He only left a picture
|
| Of a seventh grade smile
|
| Well, he got caught in between
|
| A mother’s lost hope
|
| And a father’s lost dream
|
| A head of ideas
|
| That don’t mean anything
|
| That don’t mean anything
|
| Well, Tommy had a problem
|
| With being alone
|
| He spent everyday
|
| Of his life on his own
|
| But there’s no one to blame
|
| It’s hard to keep friends
|
| When you keep moving away
|
| The cards and letters
|
| They don’t mean anything
|
| They don’t mean anything
|
| And when you go, you go
|
| You go, you go
|
| When you’re gone, you’re gone
|
| You’re gone, you’re gone
|
| And if you feel you can’t go on
|
| You can always come home
|
| You can always come home
|
| You can always come home to me
|
| Tommy stepped away
|
| From the world for awhile
|
| His first few steps
|
| It felt like a mile
|
| They never could believe
|
| He said good-bye
|
| And they just watched him leave
|
| All the things he knew
|
| Don’t mean anything
|
| They don’t mean anything
|
| And when you go, you go
|
| You go, you go
|
| When you’re gone, you’re gone
|
| You’re gone, you’re gone
|
| And if you feel you can’t go on
|
| You can always come home
|
| You can always come home
|
| You can always come home to me
|
| And if you go too far
|
| You might never come back
|
| And I might go too far
|
| But I won’t ever some back
|
| And when you go, I’ll wait for you
|
| And when you go, I’ll be there too
|
| And when you go, you go
|
| You go, you go
|
| When you’re gone, you’re gone
|
| You’re gone, you’re gone
|
| And if you feel you can’t go on
|
| Said, if you feel you can’t go on |
