Hometown Streets

Everybody packs their goals They sail away for better shores And I have seen times My sails have held a brilliant shine I hear tell that dreams come true Along these crowded avenues But, my peace of mind Is a place I go when I close my eyes I 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 Hometown 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 them The 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 day I 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 again I can't remember What I came here for I'm gonna pull up my anchor And sail for shore I 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 I 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 again Hey, I need a hometown street Hey, I need a hometown street Hey, I need a hometown street Hey, I need a hometown street
