about

A song about where you're from, wherever you're from.

Recorded and produced by Theresa Peterson at Above the Meridian Studios in Missoula, Montana.

Lyrics by Theresa Peterson.

lyrics

Mud on the fence post
Dry on the dirt road
Dust flying through my window
Foot down on the pedal so hard cause I had to go
Had to go

Radio broken
Heart like a violin
Sad song of leaving
But part of me is smiling

Hometown, hometown
You held my hand but you were dragging me down
Hometown, hometown
Had to go away but someday I'll come back around

I've done my time
I swear I know
Every switchback
Every back road
Every face
Every bottom side of every stone

Turned them over one by one
Till I was tired, till I was done
Now I'm following that river
Wherever it runs

Hometown, hometown
One man's heaven is another man's hell
Hometown, hometown
I didn't mean to hate you cause I knew you so well

Gave me what I needed
But I didn't stick around
Gave me all you had
I'd give anything to play a song for you now

Everything you had
You gave it to me free
You're still offering yourself
But I still know I had to leave

Hometown, hometown
One man's pain is another man's peace
Hometown, hometown
Just let me stay away until I'm ready
Hometown, hometown
Someday you and I will be old friends
Hometown, hometown
Just let me stay away until I'm ready to come back
Again

(the heart knows what the heart wants, but the mind travels more slowly
the heart knows what the heart wants in the end)
