lyrics

BACK IN MY HOMETOWN

VERSE 1
The sky is crying, i think i know what’s wrong, it’s been a faithful witness to all thats come and gone

I can't explain it, i don't understand
but somehow i keep ending up, on this old patch of land

PRECHORUS
and I will get away from here
who am i kidding, I say the same thing every year.

CHORUS
Back in my hometown
its been dark and rainy here all day, I never felt home here anyway
back in my hometown, got no other place to go, why I’m back here i don’’t know

VERSE 2

back where i started
didn't think it'd be my end
but this place keeps on calling me like it’s my only friend

Kids that I grew up with
they got kids of there own
a whole new generation is calling this place home

PRECHORUS 2
Though I have traveled far and wide
i got no answers, only questions multiplied

CHORUS 2

Back in my hometown,
it’s been dark and rainy here all day, I never felt home here anyway

Back in my hometown,
I got my pride it's still intact
Won’t tell no one i'm coming back

BRIDGE B
I am seeking resolution
something i must do so I may leave
But still I haven’t a solution
What a tangled web we weave

SOLO

PRECHORUS 2
We got our share of stormy weather
but to tell the truth, I ain't found no place better

no , no place better than,

CHORUS
Back in my hometown
i've learnt to love this place much more
i did not understand before

Back in my hometown,
after every place i got to see
I guess this is where i'm meant to be
