Walk up down rundown avenues and back through swollen city veins Now sobered up enough to understand that nothing stays the same Overpopulated crowds you'd think I'd find a place that I'd Attach myself upon somewhere I felt alive until I die
These hometown blues follow me home again The closer I go I feel further away
Walk back down run down avenues and attitudes are everywhere Pass a drunken argument they roll around and people stare Finally hit the underground and no surprise I turn to find Two men for twenty pound of mine if I'm alive they'll have me die
These hometown blues follow me home again The closer I go I feel further away further away, further away, further away
These hometown blues follow me home again The closer I go I feel further away
These hometown blues follow me home again The closer I go I feel further away
