Lyrics:

Well alright, you put your heart and your soul on the line You pay the price, you can leave all your dues behind, yeah You go spinning your wheels, till just one song makes it right Live your life on the road, now they call you a star overnight Overnight, overnight, oh no no [Chorus:] Gave it all, for it seemed like ages Lived the life of a rolling stone Seen the world from a thousand stages There ain't no feelin', you've ever known Like when a hometown boy comes home This guy's a joker, and this is not the key to your found And there's always somebody, who thinks he makes a living From putting you down You're aware of the odds, just forgetting the chance you must take When you're bound to a vision, there is no decision to make No no no [Chorus] When he comes home The road is long and you're on your own But through it all you know your roots run so deep Out on the rock and roll highway You make a promise to bring it back home And that's one promise, you know ya gotta keep [Chorus] But it's never gonna feel like When a hometown boy comes home He's a hometown hero
