Lyrics Going Back to Bowenville - Stu Larsen

Going Back to Bowenville

When I was a little boy
I was so shy and resolute
Someone knocking at the front door
I’d go and hide in my room
And if you call me on the telephone
I wouldn’t wanna talk with you
Yeah, when I was a little boy
I was so shy and resolute
And when I was 17
I felt like I had it all
I left school, I moved towns, I got a job
Working in a grocery store
I didn’t wanna go too far
And I never really wanted more
Yeah, when I was 17
I felt like I had it all
Now I’m a little older
And I feel more like a man
Now I’m a little wiser
I can find my way back home again
I’m going back to Bowenville
Where people know your name
I’m going back to Bowenville
Where everything stays the same
Bowenville don’t change
And when I turned 26
Well, I just walked away
I think about it all the time
What if I had’ve stayed
But there’s nothing that a man can do
To rewind his yesterdays
Yeah, when I turned 26
Well, I just walked away
Now I’m a little older
And I feel more like a man
Now I’m a little wiser
I can find my way back home again
I’m going back to Bowenville
Where people know your name
I’m going back to Bowenville
Where everything stays the same
I’m going back to Bowenville
Where people know your name
I’m going back to Bowenville
Where everything stays the same
I’m going back to Bowenville
Where people know your name
I’m going back to Bowenville
Where everything stays the same
Bowenville don’t change
Bowenville don’t change
