Hometown

Hometown
This ain't my hometown
But it's the town that I call home
It's not the place where I grew up
But it's the place where I grew up
And here I don't feel so alone

There's a lady right across the street
Walking around her tiny dog
Not sure if that's what passes for a dog
Or if that's a rat with fur
But she turns to look at me and then she raised a bony hand
And she gave me quite the smile
And before I even knew it I raise my hand as well
And I think to myself

Hometown
This ain't my hometown
But it's the town that I call home
It's not the place where I grew up
But it's the place where I grew up
And here I don't feel so alone

I've got a friend who left a few years ago
Looks like he's on his way back here
When he arrives we'll pick up where we left
As if it's been days and not years
And I won't forget the friends I've made living in this town
There's so many I can't count
And despite my inner isolation, I look around
And I sing to myself

Hometown
This ain't my hometown
But it's the town that I call home
It's not the place where I grew up
But it's the place where I grew up
And here I don't feel so alone

There's a town that's living in my mind
The center of my map
And when I leave I never stray too far
And when I do I still come back
There's so many folks who live here
So many lives they lead
So many stories they can tell
And if someone ever asks me
Where I'm from
I say that I'm from Fayetteville

Hometown
This ain't my hometown
But it's the town that I call home
It's not the place where I grew up
But it's the place where I grew up
And here I don't feel so alone

Hometown
This ain't my hometown
But it's the town that I call home
It's not the place where I grew up
But it's the place where I grew up
And here I don't feel so alone

And here I'm never quite alone
