We said goodbye to a dear old friend   And we packed our bags and left feeling sad   It's the only way      We said hello as we turned the key   A new roof over our heads, gave a smile   It's the only way, only way      Turn your head, don't look back   Set your sails for a new horizon   Don't turn around, don't look down      Oh, there's life across the tracks   And you know it's really not surprising   It gets better when you get there, oh      Well, it really don't matter much where you are   'Cause home is in your heart   It's a feeling that you wake with one day      Some people keep running all their life   And still find they haven't gone too far   They don't see it's the feeling inside   The feeling inside, oh      Turn your head and don't look back   Just set your sails for a new horizon   Don't turn around, don't look down      Oh, there's life across the tracks   And you know it's really not surprising   It gets better when you get there      We said, hello as we turned the key   A new roof over our heads, gave a smile   It's the only way
