Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out
Welcome back to that same old place that you laughed 
about
Well, the names have all changed since you hung around
But those dreams have remained and they've turned 
around


{Refrain}
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (who'd have thought 
they'd lead ya)
Back here where we need ya (back here where we need ya)
Yeah, we tease him a lot 'cause we've got him on the 
spot
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back


Welcome back, we always could spot a friend
Welcome back, and I smile when I think how you must 
have been
And I know what a scene you were learning in
Was there something that made you come back again

{Refrain}
And what could ever lead ya (what could ever lead 
ya)...

Yeah, we tease him a lot (welcome back, welcome back)
'Cause we've got him on the spot (welcome back, welcome 
back)
Yeah, we tease him a lot 'cause we've got him on the 
spot
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back
