lyrics

I was driving through my hometown
Just trying to kill some time
Familiar faces on every corner
Of good old friends of mine
So I dropped by my local bar
And Jenna was behind the counter
She pulled me a beer
And we shared a joke
Just smiled and laughed a little louder

Cos she's just a homeowner
Been a hometowner from the start
She's just a hometowner
Just a hometowner at heart

Michelle and Billy are still together
They've got two kids of their own
For 15 years he held a job
And they built themselves a home
Lately things ain't been looking too good
For the textile 'Mills' factory
So they've packed their bags
And they're leaving this behind
But he knows that they'll always be

They're just a homeowners
Been a hometowners from the start
They're just a hometowners
Just hometowners at heart

Well tonight I look into the crowd
Weary eyes staring back my way
Nobody knowing just where they're going
Struggling through another day
Our band strikes up another tune
It's getting late, it's our final song
We spent our youth trying to get away
Till we learned there was nowhere to run

Cause we're all homeowners
Been hometowners from the start
Yeah we're all hometowners
Just hometowners at heart
