Hometown Blues

Walk up the run-down avenues and back through swollen city veins
Sobered up enough to understand that nothing will stay the same
Overpopulated crowds, you think I'll find a place that I
Attach myself upon, somewhere I felt alive until I die

These hometown blues follow me home again
The closer I go, I feel further away

Walk back down run-down avenues and attitudes are everywhere
Past a drunken argument, they roll around and people stare
Finally hit the underground and no surprise I turn to find
Two men for twenty pound a mind, if I'm alive here, let me die

These hometown blues follow me home again
The closer I go, I feel further away

Further away
Further away
Further away

These hometown blues follow me home again
The closer I go, I feel further away
These hometown blues follow me home again
The closer I go, I feel further away
