Lyrics

Two dogs sitting
On the on-ramp
To I-70 West
Their owner looks down
To a sunbleached shirt
On his chest

And the cars drive by
'Cause they know
He'll be there tomorrow
And the heartache will crush him
'Cause he knows
Death soon will follow

He can't go home
He can't go home

When you're sitting
At your table
Clean clothes on your back
You'll forget his face
You won't even know
To feel bad

But you'll drive on by
Like there's nothing
You can do for him
If you're given the choice
Between death or remorse
You'll take his place
With a smile on your face

'Cause you can't go home
You can't go home
You've got no place to go
You can't go home
Can't go home
No, you can't go home
No, no, no, no
You can't
You can't go home
You can't go home
You can't go home
