Hometown Girl Songtext
von American Young

I know all the ghosts that walk these streets
People die, babies cry, and never leave
No one wants these gravel roads to end
There′s a train every 2:15
That always was and always gonna be
Daughters to mothers to daughters to mothers to daughters and mothers again

It's so hard to leave my hometown world
I tried to be a hometown girl
But in a car in the high school parking lot, I know I′m not


In the crowd on graduation day
You can see the ones that wish they got away
One on the hip, one on the way
The way back here is branded on my heart
I wish so bad I could play the part
It's where I am in my glory days

It's so hard to leave my hometown world
I tried to be a hometown girl
But in a car in the high school parking lot, I know I′m not

It′s holding on to me and all my doubts
Now is when I stay or I get out
There's a train every 2:15

It′s so hard to leave my hometown world
I tried to be a hometown girl
But in a car in the high school parking lot, I know
I just gotta go, ain't gonna turn around, no, I′m not
