Flying into Amarillo Thursday morning, 9:05
And I rent a car 'cause I've still got a hundred-mile drive
I watch the buildings turn to barbed wire
And an old ranch windmill turns
Heading home to where I don't live anymore

My daddy comes out when he sees me
I can tell he's slowing down
But he gets my mom and takes us all to the only cafe in town
And Bonnie brings us coffee
And the neighbors, they all gather 'round
And they ask me, when will I be moving home?

We talk about how much has changed
And yet somehow remains the same
We reminisce, old friends and me
And talk about what used to be

Do the boys still meet at Arsu's to find the girls on Friday nights
And race their cars down 83 out to the county line?
The water tower, Wilson's pond, the church where my folks still go
When they're gone, there'll be no reason to come home

We talk about how much has changed
And yet somehow remains the same
We reminisce, old friends and me
And talk about what used to be
We talk about what used to be
