Hometown Blues by Steve Earle [G] I wish I'd never come back home It don't feel right since I've been [D] grown [G] I can't find any of my [C] old friends hangin' round Won't [G] nothing bring you [D] down like your home [G] town I spent some time in New Orleans I had to live on rice and beans I hitched through Texas when the sun was beating down Won't nothing bring you down like your hometown CHORUS [C] Home is where the heart is Ain't that [G] what they always say [A7] My heart lies in broken pieces [D] Scattered along the way So don't think about me when I'm gone I don't mind traveling alone You are the sweetest little thing I ever found Won't nothing bring you down like your hometown One verse instrumental Repeat Chorus Repeat Last Verse Repeat Last Line [Thanks to Dan Demmitt for corrections]
