Hometown
She wanted to moveShe wanted to try something newShe wanted to live in San FranciscoIn a place with a viewShe wanted the soundShe wanted the life all aroundShe wanted the fun and the action of a livelier townBut he, he would still disagree'Cause he loved the stillness of morningAnd the wind in the treesHe needed the starsHe needed to say, "This is ours"And look at a field and a pastureAnd a road with no carsHe wanted a farmHe wanted a horse in a barnHe wanted a life in the country, far from the townSo they, they chose to stayThey found a place where they hopedThey might both have their waySurprise!But that compromise was a life in the suburbsLetras de cancionesThat they both could despiseWith nothing of either, too much of eachThe things that they hoped for were both out of reachNo land for the garden, too far from the storesNo new folk to talk to, loud neighbors next doorThough traffic was endless, no one stepped outsideAn outpost of loners who've come there to hideWhy they stayed, all those yearsThe answer can't be foundBut there they were, there they foughtAnd there they stood their ground in my hometownIn my own hometownWonder what I've made that farIn my own hometownIn my own hometown
