It’s gotta a probably never heard of name And a handful of red lights down Main And a whole lot of white picket The court house clock not tickin’ I got a breakfast spot called Quick Stop When I go home it’s my first stop To order my favorites The same old lady still make it
And I roll the map that’s on the back on my hand A little streets, most folks would pass and not look back But to a couple folks like me
It’s home sweet hometown Where you keep your first sins Your amens, your kinfolks, your old friends Home sweet hometown Everybody’s got one, or forgot one Or maybe they’re still caught in one Yeah, we all try to leave this place and chase them big dreams down But the world can leave a bitter taste without home sweet hometown
You can change the sign, you can change the name But the old flame’s still the old flame Whether it’s a dive bar, or the first time in your first car That old high school, that crazy crew, that Mustang midnight black Your daddy’s smile and your mama’s tears Always makes you glad you’re here when you come back
Home sweet hometown Where you keep your first sins Your amens, your kinfolks, your old friends Home sweet hometown Everybody’s got one, or forgot one Or maybe they’re still caught in one Yeah, we all try to leave this place and chase them big dreams down But the world can leave a bitter taste without home sweet hometown
I’m Sussex country born and raised Got family roots and my daddy’s grave No matter where I go This place is always home
It’s home sweet hometown Where you keep your first sins Your amens, your kinfolks, your old friends Home sweet hometown Everybody’s got one, or forgot one Or maybe they’re still caught in one Yeah, we all try to leave this place and chase them big dreams down But the world can leave a bitter taste without home sweet hometown
Home sweet hometown Home sweet hometown Home sweet hometown Home sweet hometown
