Hometown

Haven’t talked in a long time
Since I moved there’s been no sound
Used to live in that old house
Full of memories and goodbyes
You were calling me last night
It was right after midnight
Said you got locked out
Thought of me somehow

And now you’re waiting staring at the telephone
Hoping I’ll come home so you can tell me that you’re sorry
All the sudden telling me that you want more
Hoping I’ll come home tonight but boy I know the story

But I ain’t going back to my home-town
Just because you ask, wanting me around
I ain’t doing that, not for no one
No, I’m just gonna stay, stay

You were learning the hard way
When you asked for a short break
Maybe that was your mistake
Cause I was lost in a new taste
Like watching old replay knowing what you’ll say
And, the more you try the more you’re losing

And now you’re waiting staring at the telephone (staring at the telephone)
Hoping I’ll come home so you can tell me that you’re sorry
All the sudden telling me that you want more
Hoping I’ll come home tonight but boy I know the story

But I ain’t going back to my home-town
Just because you ask, wanting me around
I ain’t doing that, not for no one
No I’m just gonna stay, (stay), stay

But I ain’t going back to my home-town
Just because you ask, wanting me around
I ain’t doing that, not for no one
No I’m just gonna stay, stay

But I ain’t going back to my home-town
Just because you ask, wanting me around
