lyrics

I live in my hometown
It’s quiet, I like it, you know
But every other weekend
I get anxious, and I’ve just
Got to go

To the city where the state college lies
And all my old party friends reside
I’m a boomerang and the grass is always greener
On the other side

But it aint so bad
Havin’ more than one home in your life

The bars in my hometown
Are holes in the wall
In cinder block rooms
By the highway

Oh neon signs and light beer
And dirty pool tables
Top 40 country
And cigarette smo-oke

And I go alone and I
Think simple thoughts and I
Don’t take a shot
And I get home
Just slightly after dark
So I can get my sleep for work

And then in the city
I order French food from the menu
And I stay up all night
And I dance in my old favorite venues

And I don’t even care
Bout my reputation there
And I don’t even try
I just rock through the night
And a Sunday bloody mary
Will send my back home
To my
Other life

I’m a Boomerang and the grass is always greener
On the other side
But it aint so bad having more than one home in your life
