Home Sweet Hometown (Gold Edition Bonus Track)

(альбом: Bettie James - 2020)

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 ticking
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
