I left my mother feelin' sick in her bedroom My daddy told me: Son, you best grow up I told my friends they can find me on the internet 'Cause somehow this place just ain't enough Collect call from a brother in the lockup He said he paid his dues, but could I pay them too? My best friend is stealing money from my pocket I guess it's time to go, and they said Who, who are you? Who are you really heading for I said: Who, who am I? I don't know what I'm heading for I said: Oh no, oh no, I'm leaving again I said: Goodbye, so long to my, my neighborhood And I know, I know I'll see you again 'Cause I'll always, always come back to my neighborhood To my neighborhood I threw my troubles and my bags in the backseat Pulled up a drive for one last look She was standin' in the doorway lonely After leanin' in close and she said Who, who are you? Who are you really heading for? I said: Who, who am I? I don't know what I'm heading for I said: Oh no, oh no, I'm leaving again I said: Goodbye, so long to my, my neighborhood And I know, I know I'll see you again (see you again) 'Cause I'll always, always come back to my, to my neighborhood To my neighborhood To my neighborhood Came back last night just to see you It's been too long but nothing's changed I'm trying to be the one that you can't be Maybe these dreams, they all to blame I can hear it in your voice that you do know It's not a choice for me to stay So long, goodbye to the neighbourhood To my neighbourhood I said: Oh no, oh no, I'm leaving again, I'm leaving again I said goodbye, so long to my, to my, my neighborhood And I know, I know I'll see you again, I'll see you again 'Cause I'll always, always come back Come back to my, to my neighborhood My neighborhood, my neighborhood My neighborhood, my neighborhood My neighborhood
