Verse 1

 I'm not happy with myself these days

 I took the best parts of the script

and I made them all cliches

 And this red bandanas

surely gonna fade

 Even though it's the only

thing the fire didn't take

Chorus 1

Everybody says you'll grown a

lot from this experience

Baby B comes in after a while

 becomes a president

The best things get disguised

 sometimes but all I know is

 I finally know the difference

 between going back and going home

 Post Chorus: ------- x2

Verse 2

 There's a lady on my block that has a kid

 As he swims in the above ground

pool she seals up the lid

 And he thinks it's kinda

normal that she hides

 All the cuts and all the bruises

She says it's warpaint for the eyes

Chorus 2

 She tells her son she did the best

 she could as she buries Dad

Maybe he'll grow up to be a man

 or like his father did

As they leave the driveway

 for the northern snow

 They finally know the difference

 between going back and going home

 Post Chorus: ------- x2

Bridge

Rap part

Cut to a life

Being born in '69

Little class suburb

Everythings fine

Fondue parties

My mom and my dad

Drinks being drunk

 And fights being had

 I lost my virginity to a girl in my band

 She was four years older she made me a man

 So addicted to sex

Every chance that I got

 With whoever I wanted

 Until I got caught

 So I took my penicillin and I took my band

 To a town made of glitter girls and cocaine friends

 Got handed the dream by the age of eighteen

 Saw more than most people that I know had ever seen

 Played every bar drank till black and blue

 Did the morning show bullshit

 And went to China too

 Where they left us to die without a ticket to flee

 In sighting the riot we were only 23

 Packed it up started over just as fast as we can

 Selling tapes making merch in the back of a van

 Living hand-to-mouth for the next five years

 Took up drinking wine, gave up drinking beer

 Signed another big deal with a devil in a dress

 A one hit wonder I think, describes it best

 Decided to burn out, then to fade away

 Went back to the van the very next day

 Picked it up made a living without any help

 Made amazing friends if I saw so myself

 If living like this at thirty-eight is a bore

 Then come on God please give me thirty-eight more

Chorus 3

 And everybody know's I've seen a lot

 Yea, I'm experienced

Makes you feel so old after a while

 Just like our last president

Everytime I come back in this town I know

  (Hold)

I finally know the difference between

going back and going home

Yea back and going home I do
