Lyrics Hometown Blues - Steve Earle

Hometown Blues

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
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
