You Can't Go Home Again

Lyrics
It's a dirty old highway
Describing the highway as dirty, suggesting a challenging and difficult path.
It's covered with dust how do you travel
Highlighting the challenges of travel and the dust symbolizing obstacles or hardships.
Who can you trust you're chasin' a memory
Questioning trust while pursuing memories, implying uncertainty in the journey.
It's fillin' your mind
The memories are consuming the mind, possibly affecting present thoughts.
Is it just an illusion
Suggesting that what is perceived might not be real or tangible.
Tell me what do you find
Asking for clarification on what is found in the pursuit of memories.
Never gonna reach the end
Expressing the idea that the journey may be endless or challenging.
'Cause you can never go home again
Stating the central theme that one cannot return home once it's left.
Try to remember how it used to be
Encouraging reminiscence about the past and how things used to be.
What are you feelin'
Prompting reflection on current emotions and feelings.
Tell me what do you see
Asking for a description of what is perceived in the present.
Take a good look baby is it a mystery
Encouraging scrutiny of the current situation to unravel its mysteries.
You gotta admit it or you'll never be free
Emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the truth for personal freedom.
You gotta face the fact, my friend
Directing attention to facing the reality, even if it's uncomfortable.
That you can never go home again
Reiterating the central theme that returning home is impossible.
Woa, woa, woa, woa woa, woa, woa, woa
Repetition emphasizing the inevitability and finality of not being able to return home.
Woa, woa, woa, woa
-You gotta admit it does it bother you still
-You don't know the answer
-You probably never will take a moment
-You got tears in your eyes
-Too much emotion, baby it can paralyze
-It's gonna hurt until the highway ends
-'Cause you can never go home again
-You can't go home again woa, woa, woa, woa
-Woa, woa, woa, woa woa, woa, woa, woa
