Over The Rhine - Hometown Boy lyrics

Hometown Boy

words and music: Bergquist

recording: OHIO

Hey love

What do you say

We get outta here today

You ain't found your footing yet

But someday you're going to fly

My hometown boy

Cars up on blocks

The neighborhood's gone to hell

You wonder if the whole world's breakin' down

But you feel somethin'

You feel the need to run

But you don't know why

My hometown boy

No love

No sloe gin backporch nights for you

We've got work to do

White trash blowin' down the street

Just pipe dreams on paper

But starting tomorrow

We've gotta try

Me and my hometown boy
