lyrics

The Girl from Your Hometown
You’re on that road, going nowhere
With a picture in your hand
All the people around, they just stare,
They don’t understand
Why your tears are fallin’, why your head is bowed
None of them are leaving,
The girl from your hometown
Out on the street, there’s a place I heard
Sell you anything you need, ease a worried mind
Now you just don’t care and you’re never going back
Got a head full of trouble and a whole lot of empty time
They’re gonna find you a corner,
So pull your hat right down
Have a drink and think about,
The girl from your hometown
She is like a vapour trail across the blue
She’s breaking up, she’s fading out
She’s getting far away from you - Solo
Well it’s a long way home,
With a head full of lonesome tunes
And no hand to hold should you stumble and fall
Now you’re living on tricks in the light from the moon
And you say ‘Don’t worry baby
One day I’m gonna make that call’.
She don’t even remember
The last time you laid her down
And you still believe in,
The girl from your home town
