Andy Hawk & The Train Wreck Endings: Music
My Old Hometown
(Andy Hawk & The Train Wreck Endings)
June 11, 2010
Andy Hawk
A stranger on familiar streets
Walking fast and incomplete
Looking like old times
I want to wave goodbye
To my old hometown
The river floods my last hurrah
The saddest smile I ever saw
It cracks your wanderlust
To pocketfuls of dust
My old hometown
Spinning gold to straw
Snow that never thaws
I feel my life’s a hand-me-down
In my old hometown
There’s a frozen wishing well
and a broken carousel
Our crooked days are long
The whiskey’s straight and strong
In my old hometown
Days twist away
Dreams get delay
It always seems to be sundown
In my old hometown
