A homeless cat can't go astray in this world
It's a built-in contradiction
Yeah, I know where I'm at, I'm just a little off course,
And maybe in need of some direction

I've got no faith in the kindness of strangers
But I've got faith in a girl like you
Yeah you're a homecoming dream come true

Take me back to linden lane
It's been too long god knows
We can stay one night if it seems all right
We'll see how tomorrow goes

I told myself I would never go back
I kept my head down, I kept on climbing
Now look what I've done, I've gone out on a limb
So much for balance and grace and perfect timing

I flash back down on all those bridges I burned
Into ground so deep and so expensively earned
I'd lose it all while my back was turned
That's why I'm turning it all over to you

I wasn't born to great expectations
But I expect I was born for you
Yeah you're a warm-blooded dream come true

Take me back to linden lane
It's been too long god knows
We can stay one night if it seems all right
We'll see how tomorrow goes

We can wander out to Happy Hill
Where the long gone is standing still
We can stay all day if it feels okay
And to tell the truth I think it will

Take me back to linden lane
It's been too long god knows
We can stay one night if it seems all right
We'll see how tomorrow goes

We can wander into Chapel Hill
The lone gun is standing still
We can stay all day if it seems okay
Tell the truth, I think it will
