A song about returning to your hometown after losing someone you love

Nothing Stays the Same

Packed my bags this morning got my ticket for my flight tonight

Been away for over 40 years and I’m heading home to my hometown

Hoping to see how many old friends may still be around

Some won’t remember my face but may recall my name (name)

After 40 years being away not much has stayed the same

Morning is finally here I’ve got the rainy-day blues

Have to hurry and get dressed and put on my best dress shoes

Left this home of 40 years with a tear in my eyes and a heart full of pain

I’m running home to old memories through the pouring rain

My whole world fell apart when I lost her now, I have to catch that midnight plane

I’m going home now with nothing, but heartache and the memory carved on my heart her name

I’ve soaked my pain in whiskey and broken love songs (love songs)

But once I get to my old hometown she will be in my heart where she belongs

Someday I feel like I’ve been beat up and knocked down time and time again

I’m hoping once I’m back in my hometown it takes away this aching pain

I’ve let the whisper of regret sail off in the wind

And every mistake in the past I made leaves a scar with my name

After 40 years being away not much has stayed the same

Nothing stays the same

Nothing stays the same.....the same
