Hometown Streets Lyrics

Everybody packs their goals
They sail away for better shores
And I have seen times
My sails have held a brilliant shineI hear tell that dreams come true
Along these crowded avenues
But, my peace of mind
Is a place I go when I close my eyesI need a hometown street where the boys are pretty
And a friend is still a friend
I need a hometown street where the love you're given
Surely comes back 'round againHometown streets are paved in gold
With faces that you've always known
But, you'll never see them
Until you pack your dreams and leave themThe one I loved has moved away
It's hot in this city
Hey, it's always late
Here in this place
Love doesn't get the time of dayI need a hometown street where the boys are pretty
And a friend is still a friend

I need a hometown street where the love you're given
Surely comes back 'round again
And again and again and again and againI can't remember
What I came here for
I'm gonna pull up my anchor
And sail for shoreI need a hometown street where the boys are pretty
And a friend is still a friend
I need a hometown street where the love you're given
Surely comes back 'round again
And again and again and againI need a hometown street where the boys are pretty
And a friend is still a friend
I need a hometown street where the love you're given
Surely comes back 'round again
And again and again and again and againHey, I need a hometown street
Hey, I need a hometown street
Hey, I need a hometown street
Hey, I need a hometown street
