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
