Hometown Blues Lyrics

The rusted train tracks callin' me back

Where life was simple

Hearts weren't cracked

Under the oak down by the stream

We carved our names

Young love supreme

Oh

The nights in the fields where the fireflies danced

Held your hand in the summer's last chance

My hometown

Where the memories lie

First love's flame that never truly dies

The old diner where we'd sit and dream

Planned our lives on vanilla ice cream

Your laughter was the melody

The sweetest sound

In that little town

Where we felt profound

Oh

The nights in the fields where the fireflies danced

Held your hand in the summer's last chance

My hometown

Where the memories lie

First love's flame that never truly dies

Time's a thief

It steals

It borrows

But in dreams

I find our yesterdays

Our tomorrows

That winding road

The stars hung low

We walked it once

Where did the time go?

I've wandered

I've strayed far and wide

But in my heart

It's still you by my side

That little town

Under the big sky

Held our love that won't say goodbye
