i came into town with a knapsack on my shoulder
and a pocket full of stories that i just had to tell
you know i’ve knocked around a bit
i’ve had my share of small town glories
and it’s time to hit the city and that crazy carousel
i been feeling sorry for myself
but you know i was only lonely
like everybody else
until
you brought your sunday morning sunshine
here into my monday morning rain
you taught me happiness just one time
it keeps on coming back again
these streets were never highways
for i had not known the sky above
these days were never my days
for i had not known your love
it’s funny how a city can put on a different face
when it holds the one you care for
it becomes a different place
and i never felt so far from alone
baby you brought me halfway home
yes baby you brought me halfway home
