lula wiles - hometown lyrics

[verse 1]
your hometown’s shining like a magazine ad
prom queen crown and a picket fence
everybody’s chit-chatting on the main street drag
they all know you from way back when
but flip the page, it’s a broke-down dream
there’s a truck in the yard and a bird in the cage
tryna make the cash like their daddy done
you’re looking at the reason everybody stays

[verse 2]
you and your brother, you don’t get along
but trouble’s got nothing on blood in the veins
you don’t really recognize his face anymore
but neither does he, so you got nothing to say
uncle henry’s selling everything
back road dirt deals cranking away
your sister shines bright with a crystal hue
pumping through the blood of her newborn baby

[verse 3]
mama’s always looking after everyone
baking a pie and working overtime
she taught you all about making ends meet
and that nothing turns out like the nursery rhymes
flip a coin and call it pride or shame
red and white and the working blues
welfare welfare, laying the blame
no matter who wins, someone’s gonna lose
it’s a heavy world on a rusted chain
pulling hard to make the pendulum swing
but it doesn’t swing back and it never will
if we’re putting our trust in a broke-down dream
