Well alright, you put your heart and your soul on the line
You pay the price, you can leave all your dues behind, yeah
You go spinning your wheels, till just one song makes it right
Live your life on the road, now they call you a star overnight
Overnight, overnight, oh no no
Chorus:
Gave it all, for it seemed like ages
Lived the life of a rolling stone
Seen the world from a thousand stages
There aint no feelin, youve ever known
Like when a hometown boy comes home
This guys a joker, and this is not the key to your found
And theres always somebody, who thinks he makes a living
From putting you down
Youre aware of the odds, just forgetting the chance you must take
When youre bound to a vision, there is no decision to make
No no no
Chorus:
When he comes home
The road is long and youre on your own
But through it all you know your roots run so deep
Out on the rock and roll highway
You make a promise to bring it back home
And thats one promise, you know ya gotta keep
Chorus:
But its never gonna feel like
When a hometown boy comes home
Hes a hometown hero
