Lyrics Wonder Why We Ever Go Home - Jimmy Buffett

Wonder Why We Ever Go Home

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
