	He left his hometown and came back for a visit. But like they say it's gone with the wind and nowhere to be found except down the backroads of his mind. Very original.

	Story Behind the Song Everybody tries to go back home again but this version says, Oh yeah, you can go back and see some of the old sites but oh so much has changed that it won't ever be the same. Lyrics I WAS ALMOST HOME AGAIN C1986 Louis Brown/Gordon Dillingham I see the old school we used to go to On that old ballfield you cheered for us to win By that closed down Dairy Queen We talked out all our dreams... I just came by to see the place again.... There's your old house so dark and empty The broken mailbox rusting in the rain The paints peeled off the siding That old kudzu vine's not hiding I saw your face smile thru the window pane FOR A MOMENT, I WAS ALMOST HOME AGAIN I CAME SO CLOSE TO GOING WHERE NO MAN'S EVER BEEN... I CAN SEE IT ALL SO CLEAR AND THOUGH YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE FOR A MOMENT I WAS ALMOST HOME AGAIN There's the drive-in we fell in love in There's the old bus stop where leaving you was hell A lonely sweetness still Hangs over lover's hill Oh the backroad of my memory's paved so well CHORUS
