My Hometown

my life was like a desert highway
with no beginning and no end
I didn’t know where I was going
lost as I was
it didn’t matter where I’d been
I met pretty thieves and pirates
gypsy liars, eyes of blue
they tried to steal my heart
but I was saving it for someone
I know now that it was you
you’re my hometown
you’re my life now
you’re my blood that runs so deep
you’re my sunshine
you’re my good times
you’re the words that I can’t speak
I’ve done the world and back around
you’re my hometown
dirty suitcase full of memories
packed the good and left the pain
still believing there was someone
who knew the bad I’d done
and could love me anyway
bridge: home now, lost but now I’m found
