Hometown Blues Lyrics

Hometown Blues lyrics

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 



CHORUS 

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 I ever found 

Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown
