Hometown USA |
It’s closing time tonight in Harlan |
Set the alarm, turn out the lights |
Not a soul out on the sidewalk |
As she steps into the night |
Across the parking lot she fumbles |
In her handbag for the keys |
Another long day of «thank you’s |
Yes, ma’am’s» and «May I help you please» |
Sure didn’t turn out like she planned |
She thought she’d be a star by now |
Dodging paparazzi cameras |
But she’s in Harlan still somehow |
What happened to the leading lady |
Living her life upon the stage |
Still only working as an extra |
In a film called «Hometown, USA» |
Now somewhere south of town on 40 |
A Greyhound bus rolls through the night |
Staring out a greasy window |
He keeps searching the lights |
No choice but head back home to Harlan |
When foreclosure shut him down |
And after all that he had worked for |
Just to end up right back in your hometown |
What happened to the «Ride ‘em cowboy» |
Living his life out on the range |
He’s just another hired hand now |
In a film called «Hometown, USA» |
Now they don’t know their fate is turning |
They’re drifting closer in the dark |
And as he steps in for a quick one She’s already at the bar |
Tonight her lines will come so natural |
And he’ll tell tales of trails he rode |
They’ll fall in love beneath the neon |
Tonight they’re gonna steal the show |
Sure didn’t turn out like they planned |
But now they’ve found their own true way |
It’s not the big break that they dreamed of |
But you know they’re gonna be okay |
It’s not a bad part after all now |
In a film called «Hometown, USA» |
