"Me Without My Hometown" lyrics

California's just like all the movies
The palm trees down 101 sway
But strangers have a way of looking through me
Just like ghosts and the missing home won't go away

I thought I was gonna find me out here, me out here
But them Hollywood lights made it clear

There's no me without a hundred acre farmhouse
No me without my folks or my last name
No me without an old dirt road to drive down
Yeah everywhere I go is memory lane
I guess I just had to leave, chase the neon dream
For me to find out
There's no me, no me without my hometown

Yeah I left every out there stone face up
I drove every exit off of the interstate
It took sleeping somewhere new to finally wake up
With puffy eyes, wondering why I moved away

I thought I was gonna find me out there, me out there
But I couldn't help but lookin' back I swear

There's no me without a hundred acre farmhouse
No me without my folks or my last name
No me without an old dirt road to drive down
Yeah everywhere I go is memory lane
I guess I just had to leave, chase the neon dream
For me to find out
There's no me, no me without my hometown

Na na na, na na, me without my hometown
Na na na, na na, me without my hometown

I guess I just had to leave, chase the neon dream
For me to find out
There's no me, no me

There's no me without a hundred acre farmhouse
No me without my folks or my last name
No me without an old dirt road to drive down
Yeah everywhere I go is memory lane
I guess I just had to leave, chase the neon dream
For me to find out
There's no me, no me without my hometown

Na na na, na na, me without my hometown
Na na na, na na, me without my hometown
