Hometown Blues Lyrics - Live In Nashville 1995 - Steve Earle

I wish I'd never come back home 

It don't feel right since I've been grown 

I can't find any of my old friends hangin' 'round 

Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown 

I spent some time in New Orleans 

I had to live on rice and beans 

I hitched through Texas when the sun was beatin' down 

Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown 

Home is where the heart is 

Ain't that what they always say 

My heart lies in broken pieces 

Scattered along the way

So don't think about me when I'm gone 

I don't mind travelin' alone 

You are the sweetest little thing that I ever found 

But won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown 

Alright Wilson pick it 

Yeh home is where the heart is 

Ain't that what they always say 

My heart lies in broken pieces 

Scattered along the way

So don't think about me when I'm gone 

I don't mind travelin' alone 

Hey you are the sweetest little thing that I ever found 

But won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown 

Ah sugar, won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown
