[Intro]
The hardest part of going home
Is facing that you’re getting older
And every thing you’ve ever known is over, is over

[Refrain]
Is over, is over

[Verse 1]
Down by the water
Where the auburn leaves were shinin’
Holding hands with my father
Then I swear I saw him cryin’
'Cause it's been so long
And the days soon gone

[Chorus]
And the hardest part of going home
Is facing that you’re getting older
And everything you’ve ever known is over, hmm
And all the parts are overgrown
The sun is down, it's getting colder
And everything you’ve ever known is over, is over

[Verse 2]
In your eyes, I see the fire
That so long ago was burnin’
Through our smiles we try to hide it
All the years that we’ve been hurtin’
We don't get so long
That's why I'm holding on

[Chorus]
And the hardest part of going home
Is facing that you’re getting older
And everything you’ve ever known is over, hmm
And all the parts are overgrown
The sun is down, it's getting colder
And everything you’ve ever known is over, is over

[Refrain]
Is over, is over
Is over, is over
[Outro]
You're the hardest part of going home
Facing that you’re getting older
And everything you’ve ever known is over, is over
But all the parts are overgrown
The sun is down, it's getting colder
And everything you’ve ever known is over, is over
Is over, is over
