歌曲名 Hometown Girl (Album Version) 歌手名 Mary Chapin Carpenter

Love never was that kind to me

作词：Mary Chapin Carpenter

作曲：Mary Chapin Carpenter

Years ago in my hometown I was a headstrong girl and a heartstrong one We ride all summer with the top rolled down through the sleepy streets of that Jersey town

Now I knew girls when I was sixteen

Could make a smart boy stutter turn a nice boy mean

And the boys made the girls into homecoming queens

Married each other instead of their dreams

Chorus these days I mostly out on my own

Looking for someplace that I can call home

Late at night or just before dawn

I pretend you with me now

It never seemed that hard before

What happened to that hometown girl

The seasons changed in my hometown

The way they changed in yours

The windows opened up to the Spring

Like every spring before

And I ran with boys who weren like you

I was young but somehow I knew

The difference between a man and a fool

Sometimes I think that could have been you

Chorus

These days I mostly out on my own

Looking for someplace that I can call home

Late at night or just before dawn

I pretend you with me now

It never seemed so hard before

What happened to that hometown girl

Hometown girls are like hometown dreams

Some start fading others stay keen

I won forget you but I let you be
