Hey, Miss Home Town – throw off your crown - time’s leaving now...
Miss Home Town
Lyrics by Mick Evans
Eighteen years since I drove away
from our home town -
got your letter - rocked my yesterdays
can taste you now -
cold blood rushing, lost lips calling
dark dreams - tryin' to breathe somehow -
still miss you now
Counting years since you made my days
in our home town -
movie May Queen – blew my cool away
my Lost & Found -
all that burning come to nothing
packed my bags - you just stood your ground -
still burning now
Hey Miss Home Town
my Lost & Found
gonna say what I shoulda said then -
it’s now or never
for worse or better
this aint no place for dreams to end -
let’s walk away together - this time
No more years left for moving on
from this old town -
red-brick relics propping-up ‘Hope Street’
all been pulled down -
no more ‘maybes’ - no digging-in
nagging doubts shouting way too loud -
Miss Home Town – throw off your crown
time’s leaving now
Hey Miss Home Town
my Lost & Found
gonna say what I shoulda said then -
it’s now or never
for worse or better
this aint no place for dreams to end -
let’s walk away together - this time
Past the ‘Welcome’ - don’t look back
last time - down ‘Long Mile Track’ -
goodbye demons - buried friends
no last beer in ‘Journey’s End’ -
nothing to me now (this old town)
Hey Miss Home Town
my Lost & Found
gonna say what I shoulda said then -
it’s now or never
for worse or better
this aint no place for dreams to end -
let’s walk away together - this time
