Strange Old Town

I drove for days, trying to find a place called home
I saw my face in the rear-view mirror, it shook me to the bone
Tired and cold I took the shoulder and faced the snow outside
I breathed in deep the air of winter and took in the countryside

I’ve been searching for the longest time
To find a place I love
A place were I can be carefree
And count the stars above

I never meant to break your feelings
I never meant to let you down
My train is coming but I'm not leaving
I'll see my days in this strange old town

I never meant to break your feelings
I never meant to let you down
My train is coming but I'm not leaving
I'll see my days in this strange old town

I've travelled far, seen so much from the open road
I gazed out as the world sped by, on every bus I rode
My quest was drawn to embrace my future, to seek my choice dominion
From the North, to the West of the South, my perfect one in a million

I've always dreamt of the perfect place
A place to plant my roots
With vistas long and the accents strong
So different to my youth

I never meant to break your feelings
I never meant to let you down
My train is coming but I'm not leaving
I'll see my days in this strange old town

I never meant to break your feelings
I never meant to let you down
My train is coming but I'm not leaving
I'll see my days in this strange old town

And when I found it
I really liked it
It looked so beautiful
A dream come true in pastures new

I found a homestead
I found a peace of mind
A place where I could see
The man I thought that I could be

I never meant to break your feelings
I never meant to let you down
My train is coming but I'm not leaving
I'll see my days in this strange old town

I never meant to break your feelings
I never meant to let you down
My train is coming but I'm not leaving
I'll see my days in this strange old town
