Little Girl In My Hometown Lyrics - Carl Smith

Today my heart is burden I'm back to settle down 

I saw the bright lights of the city I'd have all the joys of town 

But there was something missing while I was roamin' round 

Now I know just what was missing the little girl in my hometown 

I'm back but I am too late cause she just married a friend 

She waited for me lonely years for all my roaming to end 

She were tired of just waiting for a love that let her down 

I lost my only real true love the little girl in my hometown 

[ steel ] 

It's my heart that I've broken as no one has to blame 

I could try now to win her but that might cause her shame 

So I'll travel down this lonesome road till journey's end I'll find 

I'll always love I can't forget the little girl in my hometown 

I didn't mean to forget her when I went away 

Ramble's all I cared to do didn't know I'd have to pay 

I didn't mean to be untrue to her didn't mean to let her down 

I lost my only real true love the little girl in my hometown
