I'll end up here where I don't belong
Like a steel guitar and a disco song
I've been going nowhere since I've been gone
How'd I end up here, where I don't belong
I wanna be home in my own hometown
Yeah, back where my roots ran wild in the barefoot stomping ground
Yeah, I wanna wake up to some of that cooking
Know my way around without looking
Home in my own hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
These black dirt boots just don't fit in
Yeah, the air's thick, and they smile too thin
There ain't no wild flowers blowing here in the wind
These black dirt boots just don't fit in
I wanna be home in my own hometown
Yeah, back where my roots ran wild in the barefoot stomping ground
Yeah, I wanna wake up to some of that cooking
Know my way around without looking
Home in my own hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
There's a graveyard there where my grandaddy is
At a speed of light, that I sure do miss
And that high school crush that I never did kiss
I wanna be home in my own hometown
I wanna be home in my own hometown
Yeah, back where my roots ran wild in the barefoot stomping ground
Yeah, I wanna wake up to some of that cooking
Know my way around without looking
Home in my own hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
