How'd I end up here where I don't belong
Like a steel guitar in a disco song
I 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 in my 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 home-town, yeah

I'm always gonna be home-town, yeah



These black dirt boots just don't fit in

Where the air is thick and they smile too thin

Ain't no wildflowers blowin' here in the wind

And these black dirt boots just don't fit in



I wanna be home in my own hometown

Yeah, back where my roots ran wild in my 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 home-town, yeah

I'm always gonna be home-town, yeah



There's a graveyard there where my granddad 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 in my 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 home-town, yeah

I'm always gonna be home-town, yeah



I'm always gonna be home-town, yeah

I'm always gonna be home-town
