Hometown Kid

(album: From Wasteland To Wonderland - 2022)

When I woke up in the morning
And just watching all the news
Only black life matters now
And Santa's kissing with a dude
So things are really different
Since I was a snotty kid
Tell me how we got so far from it?

Now I'm a fat dad gets mad
But am I really that lad?
Jealous of your photoshopped muscles
How can I get that?
Crawling, I'm all in
New adventures are calling
Am I still hot like Alec Baldwin?

All I really need now is beer in my hands
At my hometown pub with all my friends
The fiddle plays our favourite songs
And we dance
Tonight I get some romance
All I really need now is beer in my hands
At my hometown pub with all my friends
The fiddle plays our favourite songs
And we dance
Like old-fashioned grumpy men

We punched each other in the face
When someone bullied us
Had a reckless life but nobody bit the dust
We played football on the streets
Had some broken bones
Smoked and sold dad's cigarettes
In the high school-zone

We stole the neighbour's drink
Then we ran into the night
Whistling at the bitches round the corner
Then the cops we'd fight
We were fooling pretty girls
And made their mothers cry
Oh, we had the time of our lives

All I really need now is beer in my hands
At my hometown pub with all my friends
The fiddle plays our favourite songs
And we dance
Tonight I get some romance
All I really need now is beer in my hands
At my hometown pub with all my friends
The fiddle plays our favourite songs
And we dance
Like old-fashioned grumpy men

All I really need now is beer in my hands
At my hometown pub with all my friends
The fiddle plays our favourite songs
And we dance
Tonight I get some romance
All I really need now is beer in my hands
At my hometown pub with all my friends
The fiddle plays our favourite songs
And we dance
Like old-fashioned grumpy men
