lyrics

Billy boy was 18, when he went off to college.
Went to pursue his dreams, of studying economics.
He left his school a scholar, he left his town a shooting star,
They know he would get far, don't forget us, when you do


Come on home, hometown hero, come home,
Papa's at the airport, gonna take you to your favorite restaurant
Show me that smile, it's been a while

He got lost in the process, decided he was an artist,
Nobody understood him, though he had so much to say.
He moved out to the city, it was there he found he purpose
It was there he found his true love, it was there she broke his heart

Come on home, hometown hero, come home,
It's the same old same but at least they all know your name
Come on home, big city zero, come home,
Why not stick around, be a big fish in a small pond,
Slow your stride, your momma's getting old

He tried out all sorts of drugs, and had all these visions
Learned how to see through, the brain wash he lives in
Turned his back on academics, turned his back on religion,
Turned his back on his family, he'll return to them when he's dead

Come on home, hometown zero, come home,
Nobody's heard from you in years, where the hell have you gone,
Come on home, first born son,
You turned into someone I have never known,
Tell me child, where did I go wrong

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
