Lyrics

My Home Town

This is a song about the time I said goodbye
A thousand miles along that road is where that daydream lies
And I still hear the breakers crashing on the broken cliffs
Of the old abandoned lighthouse where I sailed around the tip
Of my hometown

I still hear those butcher birds, singing in the night
Underneath the Pepper Trees in the middle of July
And the poets and the folksingers in their bathing suits and tights
Drift in a summer dream underneath these tungsten lights
Of my hometown

I don’t need nothing, but a radio to play
And a friend to keep me company along this old highway
And the headlights keep on flashing and the road bumps jump up laughing
Some people say that vagabonds no longer are in fashion
In your hometown

Most of my friends have settled down
Got themselves a good job or a wedding gown
But I still hear the footsteps of a love never knew
Sometimes I hear her laughing and I catch a glimpse or two
In your hometown

This is a song about the time I said goodbye
A thousand miles along that road is where that daydream lies
And I still hear the breakers crashing on the broken cliffs
Of the old abandoned lighthouse where I sailed around the tip
Of my hometown
