Hometown Boy

Hey hometown boy how's it like in Nashville When will you come and make our time swell You know you left a broken heart And you did that from the start Hey hometown boy how's Cumberland River You skipping stones cause you're feeling bitter Remember our walks along the beach And all the times you needed me Memories, keep haunting me I feel you there All around and around and around You turned your back and walked away When I needed you to stay You thought leaving was better But that wasn't really true And every time I remember your smile I start singing the blues I wish you the best My hometown boy, my hometown boy It's been three years since I last saw you Your songs on the radio help me get through Reminded me of the day you called We were so messy but we laughed it off It's been ten years and we've grown so much I'm happy the Christmas cards keep us in touch I see your face smiling back at me It makes me remember what we used to be Memories, they keep me in our moments in time And I smile and I smile and I smile The bond we shared still remains And no one can take that away You thought leaving was better But that wasn't really true And every time I remember your smile I start singing the blues I wish you the best My hometown boy, my hometown boy
