Hometown Blues
by Steve Earle
G
I wish I'd never come back home
D
It don't feel right since I've been grown
G C
I can't find any of my old friends hangin' round
G D G
Won't nothing bring you down like your home 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
G
Ain't that 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
