J Church Back To Hawaii Lyrics

All of my friends tell me that they wanna visit Hawaii,
It must seem pretty beautiful there away from smoggy city air,
But the last time I went home a sorrow drifted through my soul,
The things I had hoped to see had all changed pretty drastically,
I don't want to see new buildings and I don't want to see new malls,
When I first went home it didn't look this way at all

I can't go back,
I can't go back,
I can't go back to Hawaii,
I can't go back,
I can't go back,
I can't go back to Hawaii

I want to that same old store,
It isn't there any more,
All of it has been replaced by an air-conditioned Circle K, What happened to the trees that I knew or the streets where I grew up?
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?

[...] that's not the one,
It's not the same, not time [...]

I can't go back,
I can't go back,
I can't go back to Hawaii,
I can't go back,
I can't go back,
I can't go back to Hawaii

They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum
And charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see a_?em

I can't go back,
I can't go back,
I can't go back to Hawaii,
I can't go back,
I can't go back,
I can't go back to Hawaii
