Hometown Girls

Some folks sing about those California girls
How the sunshine turns their skin so brown
But riding on this Greyhound, California fades
As I think about a girl from my hometown
She may not be a movie star, or wear a golden tan
But that hometown girl
Knows how to love her man
Hometown girls, can tame the restless soul
Or drive a sane man wild
I’d trade all the girls in all the world
For the love of just one hometown girl
City girls I’ve found are always on the go
Working hard trying to make ends meet
The city moves too fast for this country boy
A hometown girl is all I’ll ever need
My restless soul is getting tired
I’ve been away too long
In the arms of a hometown girl is where I belong
Hometown girls, can tame the restless soul
Or drive a sane man wild
I’d trade all the girls in all the world
For the love of just one hometown girl

Now this greyhound bus has brought me home
I smell diesel as I step down through the door
Looking 'round the square; I see not much has changed
There’s Carol Jean’s boutique and flower store
I walk inside, paralyzed
She don’t ask me where I’ve been
Then she smiles and I know
I will never leave again
Hometown girls, can tame the restless soul
Or drive a sane man wild
I’d trade all the girls in all the world
For the love of just one hometown girl

Sakes alive, there’s nothing like
