➜ About

This single was released as a straggler three years after the initial digital release of Big Sky Country's debut album "The Handshake".

After three long years of waiting, we finally received the vinyl version of the album in the summer of 2017 - that's three years after we sent it to the pressing plant.

This single was a celebration of the much delayed release of the vinyl version.

lyrics

➜ Lyrics

The only use of the town you are born in
Is to leave just as soon as you’re eighteen
From a village, to a town, to a city
You went from bored, to amused, onto busy

But still you know there is a place
Where your face is a sight of much delight
Where you grew up; you would grow down
That’s the reason why you had to leave this town
And that’s fine, just as long as you stop by
From time to time just to remind
Those of us who stayed behind
It isn’t always brighter on the other side

You’re not alone
You’re not alone
Just far from home
Just far from home
You’re not alone

Don’t get distracted by the lights and the sunshine
Because I know there is a scheme somewhere in your mind

But still you know there is a place
Where your face is a sight of much delight
Where you grew up; you would grow down
That’s the reason why you had to leave this town
And that’s fine, just as long as you stop by
From time to time just to remind
Those of us who stayed behind
It isn’t always brighter on the other side

You’re not alone
You’re not alone
Just far from home
Just far from home
You’re not alone
