Emmylou Harris
Hometown Blues
[Verse 1]
Baby can't wait, baby got to go
Got to do a number on the late, late show
Do a little song, do a little dance
Wants to make the best of her big chance

[Chorus]
Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues

[Verse 2]
I got a friend, got a little girl
Said, she's the best in the whole wide world
Sounds so good, it sounds unreal
It might not last but it's no big deal

[Chorus]
Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues
Blues

[Bridge]
Baby, save me, save me, save me your sweet smile
Honey, I really need for you to help me kill a little bit of time

[Verse 3]
All of the girls run with the crowd
They go wild when the lights go down
They got a little money, they live in a dream
They want to be the queen of every little scene
[Chorus]
Don't really matter if they don't or if they do
Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues
Blues

[Bridge]
Baby, save me, save me, save me your sweet smile
Honey, I really need for you to help me kill a little bit of time

[Verse 3]
All of the girls run with the crowd
They go wild when the lights go down
They got a little money, they live in a dream
They want to be the queen of every little scene

[Chorus]
Don't really matter if they don't or if they do
Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues
Blues
