Nanci Griffith - Hometown Streets lyric

Everybody packs their goals

They sail away for better shores

And I have seen times

My sails have held a brilliant shine

I hear tell that dreams come true

Along these crowded avenues

But, my peace of mind

Is a place I go when I close my eyes

I need a hometown street where the boys are pretty

And a friend is still a friend

I need a hometown street where the love you're given

Surely comes back 'round again

Hometown streets are paved in gold

With faces that you've always known

But, you'll never see them

Until you pack your dreams and leave them

The one I loved has moved away

It's hot in this city

Hey, it's always late

Here in this place

Love doesn't get the time of day

I need a hometown street where the boys are pretty

And a friend is still a friend

I need a hometown street where the love you're given

Surely comes back 'round again

And again and again and again and again

I can't remember

What I came here for

I'm gonna pull up my anchor

And sail for shore

I need a hometown street where the boys are pretty

And a friend is still a friend

I need a hometown street where the love you're given

Surely comes back 'round again

And again and again and again

I need a hometown street where the boys are pretty

And a friend is still a friend

I need a hometown street where the love you're given

Surely comes back 'round again

And again and again and again and again

Hey, I need a hometown street

Hey, I need a hometown street

Hey, I need a hometown street

Hey, I need a hometown street
