Hometown Blues 
 
by Steve Earle 
 
G I wish I'd never come back home 
It don't feel right since I've been D grown 
G I can't find any of my C old friends hangin' round 
Won't G nothing bring you D down like your home G town 
 
I spent some time in New Orleans 
I had to live on rice and beans 
I hitched through Texas when the sun was beating down 
Won't nothing bring you down like your hometown 


[Refrão]
C Home is where the heart is 
Ain't that G what they always say 
C My heart lies in broken pieces 
D Scattered along the way 
 
So don't think about me when I'm gone 
I don't mind travelling alone 
You are the sweetest little thing I ever found 
Won't nothing bring you down like your hometown
