I used to dream that I have everything
Fame, cash, fancy home, my very own brass ring
I made some money last week
I live the life I choose
But I'm playing Pittsburgh tonight
I got the hometown blues
I left at 16, cuz I couldn't take more
Nobody tried to hold me back
They helped me pack and held the door
I been around this world
I thought I paid my dues
But I'm playing Pittsburgh tonight
I got the hometown blues
Andy Warhol's dead and in the ground
It's the only way they could get him back to town
I lack self esteem, it's a Pittsburgh thing
You just ain't worth nothing without that Super Bowl ring
Bad memories, they used to laugh at my shoes
But I'm playing Pittsburgh tonight
I got the hometown blues
Hey, look at me
I came to share my gift
But I feel like Carrie right before the bucket slipped
See, I've got a need to read by the grooves
But I'm playing Pittsburgh tonight
I got the hometown blues
Yeah, I'm playing Pittsburgh tonight
I got the hometown blues
I'm gonna play Pittsburgh tonight
I got the hometown blues
