Em D C

I look out across the water and remember how it used to be oh
I've got a car but I walk most everywhere so I can feel the earth, feel the sun and
breathe the air
I stop and say hello, no one answers back.
Well I'm doing o.k. I've got friends and family
People to love and people who love me
But I still wish I could see my old town once again
Chorus:
C D Em C
Sometimes I take the long way home I walk down to the sea
