| 专辑 | Hometown Girl |
| 作词 : Carpenter | |
| Years ago in my hometown i was a headstrong girl and a heartstrong one / we'd ride all summer with the top rolled down through the sleepy streets of that jersey town | |
| Now i knew girls when i was sixteen | |
| Could make a smart boy stutter, turn a nice boy mean | |
| And the boys made the girls into homecoming queens | |
| Married each other instead of their dreams | |
| Chorus: these days i'm mostly out on my own | |
| Looking for someplace that i can call home | |
| Late at night, or just before dawn | |
| I pretend you're with me now | |
| It never seemed that hard before | |
| What happened to that hometown girl? | |
| The seasons changed in my hometown | |
| The way they changed in yours | |
| The windows opened up to the spring | |
| Like every spring before | |
| And i ran with boys who weren't like you | |
| I was young but somehow i knew | |
| The difference between a man and a fool | |
| Sometimes i think that could have been you | |
| Chorus: | |
| Hometown girls are like hometown dreams | |
| Some start fading, others stay keen | |
| I won't forget you but i'll let you be | |
| Love never was that kind to me | |
| Late at night or just before down | |
| I pretend you're with me now | |
| You had your madness and you had your charm | |
| But only when your heart allowed | |
| And my heart just won't allow no more | |
| What happened to that hometown girl? |
