How'd I end up here where I don't belong?
Like a steel guitar in a disco song
I've been goin' nowhere since I've been gone
How'd I end up here where I don't belong?

I wanna be home in my own hometown
Yeah, back where my roots ran wild
And the barefoot stompin' ground
Yeah, I wanna wake up to some of that cookin'
Know my way around without lookin'
Home in my own hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown

Now these black dirt boots just don't fit in
Yeah, the air is thick and they smile too thin
There ain't no wildflowers blowin' here in the wind
These black dirt boots just don't fit in

I wanna be home in my own hometown
Yeah, back where my roots ran wild
And the barefoot stompin' ground
Yeah, I wanna wake up to some of that cookin'
Know my way around without lookin'
Home in my own hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown

Yeah, there's a graveyard there where my granddaddy is
And a speed of life that I sure do miss
And that high school crush that I never did kiss

I wanna be home in my own hometown
I wanna be home in my own hometown
Yeah, back where my roots ran wild
And the barefoot stompin' ground
Yeah, I wanna wake up to some of that cookin'
Know my way around without lookin'
Home in my own hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
I'm always gonna be hometown
