No one understands They all think I'm a lucky man Truth is I'm in a rut (Oh ya ya hey) All this love and joy Even so I'm a lonely boy Close to giving it up 'Cause baby life takes me places that I never dreamed I would find But still there's nowhere that I'd rather be than to be by your side You are my hometown Where I can slow down We got it good, we got it all figured out You are my hometown Let there be no town We understood it's where I should be now Well love just don't feel right When I don't have your hand in mine I'm scared you're slipping away (Oh ya ya hey) But once I'm homewood bound From the moment that I touch down I realise nothing has changed Well baby mixing our chemicals often results in a fire But it's the heat of your heart keeping me holding onto the wire You are my hometown Where I can slow down We got it good, we got it all figured out You are my hometown Let there be no town We understood it's where I should be now Ay ya ya ya ya Ay ya ya ya ya We understood it's where I should be now 'Cause baby life takes me places that I never dreamed I would find, oh no no But still there's nowhere that I'd rather be than to be by your side You are my hometown Where I can slow down We got it good, we got it all figured out You are my hometown Let there be no town We understood it's where I should be now You are my hometown Where I can slow down We got it good, we got it all figured out You are my hometown Let there be no town We understood it's where I should be now We got it good We got it all figured out
