Hometown Blues Lyrics - The Rifles

Walk up down rundown avenues and back through swollen city veins 

Now sobered up enough to understand that nothing stays the same 

Overpopulated crowds you'd think I'd find a place that I'd 

Attach myself upon somewhere I felt alive until I die 

These hometown blues follow me home again 

The closer I go I feel further away 

Walk back down run down avenues and attitudes are everywhere 

Pass a drunken argument they roll around and people stare 

Finally hit the underground and no surprise I turn to find 

Two men for twenty pound of mine if I'm alive they'll have me die 

These hometown blues follow me home again 

The closer I go I feel further away 

further away, further away, further away 

These hometown blues follow me home again 

The closer I go I feel further away 

These hometown blues follow me home again 

The closer I go I feel further away
