Lyrics for Hometown Blues
I wish I'd never come back home It don't feel right since I've been grown I can't find any of my old friends hangin' 'round Won't 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 Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown Home is where the heart is Ain't that what they always say My heart lies in broken pieces Scattered along the way So don't think about me when I'm gone I don't mind travelin' alone You are the sweetest little thing that I ever found Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown Home is where the heart is Ain't that what they always say My heart lies in broken pieces Scattered along the way So don't think about me when I'm gone I don't mind travelin' alone Yeah, you are the sweetest little thing that I've ever found But won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown Oh sugar, won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown
