Over The Rhine - Hometown Boy Lyrics

Hey love, what do you say?
We get outta here today
You ain't found your footing yet
But some day you're going to fly

My hometown boy

Cars up on blocks the neighborhood's gone to hell
You wonder if the whole world's breakin' down
But you feel somethin', you feel the need to run
But you don't know why

My hometown boy

No love, no sloe gin back porch nights for you
We've got work to do white trash blowin' down the street
Just pipe dreams on paper but starting tomorrow
We've gotta try

Me and my hometown boy
