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
