Elliott Murphy - Hometown lyrics

rate me

I saw ur mother downtown yesterday

She didn't know me & her hair was gray

She told me all her kids had run away

They called at Christmas time but really what's left to say

And now the neighbors they don't talk no more

And late at night she listens to the wind under the door

And the cracks in the floor

Oh, guess who I ran into in the waitin' room

U know they use to say that kid was born with a silver spoon

He told me that he left his home much too soon

Cos' no one eva told him about the power of a real full moon

And than he stopped & just closed his eyes

And whispered please could someone help him get outside

And don't tell me u don't hear that hometown callin' u

Cos u know what baby ur still doin' all the same things u use to do

Wo wo darlin' u neva use to wait till tomorrow & now u can't wait at all

Hey what's the news in the fashion world

Is it long or short, is it straight or curled

Does it pull all my last years in a different world

Does it tell ur mother, how long ago she was a girl

And even churchmen are wearin' stripes

And all the hometown girls are gettin' in much too late tonight

I guess they gave up the fight
