How'd I end up here where I don't belong
Like a steel guitar in a disco song
I been going nowhere since I been gone
How'd I end up here where I don't belong
I wanna be home in my own hometown
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
These black dirt boots just don't fit in
The air is 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
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
There's a graveyard there where my granddaddy is
A speed of life that I sure do miss
That high school crush that I never did kiss
I wanna be home in my own hometown
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
