Lyrics

Hometown

[Verse 1]

No one understands

They all think I'm a lucky man

Truth is I'm in a rut

(Oh ya ya hey)

All this love and joy

Even so I'm a lonely boy

Close to giving it up

[Bridge]

'Cause baby, life takes me places that I never dreamed I would find

But still there's nowhere that I'd rather be than to be by your side

[Chorus]

You are my hometown

Where I can slow down

We got it good, we got it all figured out

You are my hometown

Let there be no town

We understood it's where I should be now

[Verse 2]

Well love just don't feel right

When I don't have your hand in mine

I'm scared you're slipping away

(Oh ya ya hey)

But once I'm homewood bound

From the moment that I touch down

I realise nothing has changed

[Pre-Chorus]

Well baby, mixing our chemicals often results in a fire

But it's the heat of your heart keeping me holding onto the wire

[Chorus]

You are my hometown

Where I can slow down

We got it good, we got it all figured out

You are my hometown

Let there be no town

We understood it's where I should be now

Ay ya ya ya ya

Ay ya ya ya ya

We understood it's where I should be now

[Bridge 2]

'Cause baby life takes me places that

I never dreamed I would find, oh no no

But still there's nowhere that I'd rather be than to be by your side

[Chorus]

You are my hometown

Where I can slow down

We got it good, we got it all figured out

You are my hometown

Let there be no town

We understood it's where I should be now

You are my hometown

Where I can slow down

We got it good, we got it all figured out

You are my hometown

Let there be no town

We understood it's where I should be now

[Outro]

We got it good

We got it all figured out
