Hometown Blues Steve Earle

[Verse]
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 hanging around
Won't nothing bring you down like your hometown

[Verse]
I spent some time in New Orleans
I had to live on rice and beans
I hitched through Texas when the sun was beating down
Won't nothing 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

[Verse]
So don't think about me when I'm gone
I don't mind traveling alone
You are the sweetest little thing that I ever found
Won't nothing 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
