Hometown Life, Truly Me
Now that I've left my home town
Where everything just stays the same
I've gone to work, to make a name
To show up those who only looked at my mistakes
The ones that didn't pass the line
The ones with money that never work too hard,
the ones that live a lie
When I was younger
That's what this song is all about
I was looked down upon because
I had long hair and some baggy jeans
But I had joy
I felt a loving in my heart
By being alive
But that old home town of mine, just wasn't meant for me
I am out the door and only miss my family
Whatever life you're leading now, a doctor or a janitor
I just hope you find your hometown life, truly me
I left to seek out the world
To get a solid learning too
You're still telling me I'm wrong
For never seeing you
But the people that I've met
All around, up to LaRue
And the love that I pursue
Seems like she likes to travel to
But the thought, the past, it lasts an hour or two
And the pain, refrain, the change, it all let's loose
Cause we're different now, yeah we're different now
And we never let them go
The only place that I had known,
For so long
Life changes
We've all experienced it here and there
Someday we all might start to swear
Or simply coloring out hair
But my past does not define
This man that I'll become
It wasn't right, you judged me
Wrongfully
Now that old home town of mine, just wasn't meant for me
I am out the door I only miss my family
Whatever life you're leading now, a doctor or a janitor
I just hope you find your hometown life, truly me
Whatever life you're leading now, a doctor or a janitor
I just hope you find your hometown life, truly me
Where everything just stays the same
I've gone to work, to make a name
To show up those who only looked at my mistakes
The ones that didn't pass the line
The ones with money that never work too hard,
the ones that live a lie
When I was younger
That's what this song is all about
I was looked down upon because
I had long hair and some baggy jeans
But I had joy
I felt a loving in my heart
By being alive
But that old home town of mine, just wasn't meant for me
I am out the door and only miss my family
Whatever life you're leading now, a doctor or a janitor
I just hope you find your hometown life, truly me
I left to seek out the world
To get a solid learning too
You're still telling me I'm wrong
For never seeing you
But the people that I've met

And the love that I pursue

Whatever life you're leading now, a doctor or a janitor
I just hope you find your hometown life, truly me
Whatever life you're leading now, a doctor or a janitor
I just hope you find your hometown life, truly me
