Verse:
G
I wish I'd never come back home

It don't feel right since I've been grown

I can't find any of my old friends hanging around

Won't nothing bring you down like your hometown

Verse:
G
I spent some time in New Orleans
                          D     A D A Am
I had to live on rice and beans
G                 G7             C               C7
I hitched through Texas when the sun was beating down
      G                 D                  G
Won't nothing bring you down like your hometown


Chorus:
C
Home is where the heart is
           G
Ain't that what they always say?
A/C#
My heart lies in broken pieces
D          A        Am
Scattered along the way


Verse:
G
So don't think about me when I'm gone
                        D     A D A Am
I don't mind traveling alone
G               G7          C                 C7
You are the sweetest little thing that I ever found
      G                 D                  G
Won't nothing bring you down like your hometown
