Hometown Heartless

(album: Whole Town Talk - 2019)

Same four mile circles that we live, turn round and round
Same four-way buckshot, stop sign by your house
Still driving that same ol' beat up Chevrolet
It is, it is, it is, but it ain't the same
No it ain't the same

We painted all the memories, girl on every corner
Every back street, feel it all over
All the history just ain't right around here, without you next to me
Now I can't go back, can't see my momma
Can't get past us, even if I wanna
I know they said home is where the heart is
But you left this hometown heartless, heartless, heartless

Wrecked havoc downtown on that July Friday night
With nothing but a kiss and a dress with a half-filled whiskey smile
You took the best this place could give girl, when you left
Yeah you dropped this town like a rearview cigarette
Can't forget

How we painted all the memories, girl on every corner
Every back street, feel it all over
All the history just ain't right around here, without you next to me
Now I can't go back, can't see my momma
Can't get past us, even if I wanna
I know they said home is where the heart is
But you left this hometown heartless, heartless, heartless
You left this hometown heartless, heartless, heartless

Same gravel I kicked, same parking lot fights
Same red-brick bar, same neon signs
Same everything here, but without you it don't feel like mine

Painted all the memories, girl on every corner
Every back street, feel it all over
All the history just ain't right around here, without you next to me
Now I can't go back, can't see my momma
Can't get past us, even if I wanna
I know they said home is where the heart is
But you left this hometown heartless, heartless, heartless
Yeah you left this hometown heartless, heartless, heartless
