Lyrics The Little Girl in My Home Town - Carl Smith

Today my heart is burdened I'm back to settle down
I saw the bright lights of the city I've had all the joys of town
But there was something missing while I was roaming round
Now I know just what was missing a little girl in my hometown

I'm back but I am too late 'cause she just married a friend
She waited for me lonely years for all my roaming to end
She grew tired of just waiting for a love who let her down
I lost my only real true love a little girl in my hometown

It's my heart that I've broken there's no one else to blame
I could try now to win her but that might cause her shame
So I'll travel down this lonesome road 'til journey's end I've found
I'll always love I can't forget a little girl in my hometown

I didn't mean to forget her when I went away
Ramble's all I care to do didn't know I'd have to pay
I didn't mean to be untrue to her didn't mean to let her down
I lost my only real true love a little girl in my hometown
