Joe Jackson - Hometown lyrics

Your rating:
Of all the stupid things
I could have thought
This was the worst
I started to believe
That I was born at seventeen

And all the stupid things
The letters and the broken verse
Stayed hidden at the bottom of the drawer
They'd always been

And now, I plough through piles
Of bills, receipts, and credit cards
And tickets, and the daily news
And sometimes I just

Wanna go back to my hometown
Though I know it'll never be the same
Back to my hometown
'Cause it's been so long
And I'm wondering if it's still there

We think we're pretty smart
Us city slickers get around
And when the going's rough
We kill the pain and relocate

We're never married
Never faithful not to any town
But we never leave the past behind
We just accumulate

So, sometimes when the music stops
I seem to hear a distant sound
Of waves and seagulls
Football crowds, and church bells
And I

Wanna go back to my hometown
Though I know it'll never be the same
Back to my hometown
'Cause it's been so long
And I'm wondering if it's still there

Back to my hometown
Though I know it'll never be the same
Back to my hometown
'Cause it's been so long
And I'm wondering if it's still there
