Rosanne Cash - Hometown Blues Lyrics

(Tom Petty)

Baby can't wait baby gotta go
Gotta do a number on the late night show
Do a little song do a little dance
Wanna make the best of her big chance.

Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues.

I got a friend got a little girl
Said she's the best in the whole wide world
Said it so good said its unreal
Might not last but it's no big deal.

Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues.

Baby, save me, save me, save me
With your sweet smile
Honey, I really need your love
To help me kill a little bit o time.

All of the girls run with the crowd
They go wild when the lights go down
They got a little money live in a dream
Wanna be the queen of their little scene.

Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues.

Baby, save me, save me, save me
With your sweet smile
Honey, I really need your love
To help me kill a little bit o time.

All of the girls run with the crowd
They go wild when the lights go down
They got a little money live in a dream
Wanna be the queen of their little scene.

Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
