Oh, I'll put up a wall,
To distance myself from it all
And inside I stood tall,
Where no one could hear me fall
And the nails there they grow old
They've rusted out from the cold
Where they lay I know
Because I hammered them home
Oh, I'll run away
Far from this place I'll go
Cause it ain't my home
Back to Horsehead Bay,
Out in Washington
A place that I know
Oh, I'll run away
Far from this place I'll go
Cause it ain't my home
Back to Pesaro,
On the Italian Coast
And by my father I was told,
That where you come from is gold
And it don't matter where you go,
It ain't never gonna feel quite like home
And I've been weathered and aged,
From days spent out in the rain
And I got a feeling in my heart,
That I'll go back to the start
Oh, I'll run away,
Far from this place I'll go
Cause it ain't my home
Back to Horsehead Bay,
Out in Washington
A place that I know
Oh, I'll run away,
Far from this place I'll go
Cause it ain't my home
Back to Somerset,
Down in Southwest England
Back to Somerset,
Down in Southwest England
Oooh, oooh
