Mary Chapin Carpenter Miscellaneous Hometown Girl (Mary Chapin Carpenter) Years ago in my hometown I was a headstrong girl and a heartstrong one We'd ride all summer with the top rolled down through the sleepy streets of that Jersey town Now I knew girls when I was sixteen Could make a smart boy stutter, turn a nice boy mean And the boys made the girls into homecoming queens Married each other instead of their dreams These days I'm mostly out on my own Looking for someplace that I can call home Late at night, or just before dawn I pretend you're with me now It never seemed that hard before What happened to that hometown girl? The seasons changed in my hometown The way they changed in yours The windows opened up to the Spring Like every spring before And I ran with boys who weren't like you I was young but somehow I knew The difference between a man and a fool Sometimes I think that could have been you These days I'm mostly out on my own Looking for someplace that I can call home Late at night, or just before dawn I pretend you're with me now It never seemed that hard before What happened to that hometown girl? Hometown girls are like hometown dreams Some start fading, others stay keen I won't forget you but I'll let you be Love never was that kind to me Late at night or just before down I pretend you're with me now You had your madness and you had your charm But only when your heart allowed And my heart just won't allow no more What happened to that hometown girl? |
