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 i ever found, won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown
