Hometown Blues — Steve Earle

I wish Id never come back home

It dont feel right since Ive been grown

I cant find any of my old friends hangin round

Wont nothin bring you down like your hometown

I spent some time in new orleans

I had to live on rice and beans

I hitched through texas when the sun was beatin down

Wont nothin bring you down like your hometown

Chorus

Home is where the heart is

Aint that what they always say

My heart lies in broken pieces

Scattered along the way

So dont think about me when Im gone

I dont mind travelin alone

You are the sweetest little thing I ever found

Wont nothin bring you down like your hometown
