My Own Hometown Songtext
von Lonestar

20 years goes by fast
I know, they say you can′t live in the past
But I came back here to find what's left of me
So I walked the halls of our old high school
Sat alone in the church where I met you
Drove by the bank where your house used to be

Oh, I′m a stranger in my own hometown
Nothing much of me left here now
I can't find a trace of me and you, oh-oh-oh
No one here even knows my name
Even the memories don't seem the same
I′m a stranger, stranger in my own hometown


Went to the diner where we said goodbye
Just to see if it would make me cry
But I just drank my coffee, feeling empty
Then I flew past that city limit sign
Population that left me behind
Wishing there was someone there who missed me
Wished they missed me

Well, I′m a stranger in my own hometown
Nothing much of me left there now
I can't find a trace of me and you, oh-oh-oh
No one there even knows my name
Even the memories don′t seem the same
I'm a stranger, stranger in my own hometown

Oh-oh, no one there even knows my name
Even the memories don′t seem the same
I'm a stranger, stranger in my own hometown
Yeah, I′m a stranger, stranger in my own hometown

That used to be where I belonged
Guess time and you and I moved on
