"My Home Town" lyrics

"My Home Town"

I'm goin' back to my home town
Gonna sit right down and take a look around
Tall trees talkin' all along the shore
Where the wood meets the river at the forest floor

The grass hangs heavy all full of rain
The wise dog wanders through the coming rain
But does a true heart change or does it stay the same
Think I'll go on back to from where I came, yeah

The sound of the sirens and the winds that blow
They hold no candle to the things I know
Oh I'm goin' back down to my home town
Gonna break some ground, take a look around

'Cause I'm goin' back to my home town
Some love stays leaving some will stick around
Tall trees talking can ya hear the sound
Of the mad men sitting at the river's mouth

Some dance for joy some sing for rain
Say it only take a women to drive a man insane
I've seen the workers and I've seen the bums
They all shine equal in the settin' sun, yeah

I'm goin' back to my home town
Gonna sit right down and take a look around
The fools lay fallow can ya hear the sound
Better call on the spirit 'cause I'm weathered down

The grass hangs heavy its full of rain
The wise dog wanders through the coming grain
But does a true heart change or does it stay the same
Think I'll go on back to from where I came, yeah

The song of the sirens and the winds that blow
They hold no candle to the things I know
Oh I'm goin' back down to my home town
Gonna break some ground, take a look around
