lyrics

Riding in the park
As the evening hums
My hometown sings
To the setting Sun
Bout a river running thru it
And a clock in the middle
And the kids are making love
In the cars under the stars

Wish I knew you then
Our story would be longer
We'd be farther from the end of it
Wish I knew you then
Our story would be longer
We'd be farther from the end of it

Hoping and praying
That the kids don't change
Living and dying
In the small town stage
I'm gettin the feeling
That you're feeling spared
Were the sums
Of my hometown air

Wish I knew you then
Our story would be longer
We'd be farther from the end of it
Wish I knew you then
Our story would be longer
We'd be farther from the end of it
(regal vocals)

It makes good sense
It's the only way
Puttin down roots
Means you're there to stay
Family comes, and friends they sing
The hometown blues
Are a living thing

Wish I knew you then
Our story would be longer
We'd be farther from the end of it
Wish I knew you then
Our stories would be longer
We'd be farther from the end of it
Wish I knew you then
Our stories would be longer
We'd be farther from the end of it
Wish I knew you then
Our stories would be longer
We'd be farther from the end of it
Farther from the end of it
Farther from the end of it
Wish I knew you then
A story in a story in a story in a story
