[00:00.60]Hometown USA - Slaid Cleaves
[00:08.39]It's closing time tonight in Harlan
[00:12.68]Set the alarm  turn out the lights
[00:17.33]Not a soul out on the sidewalk
[00:21.74]As she steps into the night
[00:26.33]Across the parking lot she fumbles
[00:30.82]In her handbag for the keys
[00:35.32]Another long day of thank yous
[00:38.60]Yes  ma'am's and may I help you please
[00:44.03]Sure didn't turn out like she planned
[00:48.57]She thought she'd be a star by now
[00:53.38]Dodging paparazzi cameras
[00:57.53]But she's in Harlan still somehow
[01:02.12]What happened to the leading lady
[01:06.59]Living her life upon the stage
[01:10.98]Still only working as an extra
[01:15.46]In a film called hometown  USA
[01:29.04]Now somewhere south of town on 40
[01:33.30]A Greyhound bus rolls through the night
[01:38.02]Staring out a greasy window
[01:42.32]He keeps searching for the lights
[01:46.77]No choice but head back home to Harlan
[01:51.41]When foreclosure shut him down
[01:55.78]And after all that he had worked for
[01:59.40]Just to end up right back in your hometown
[02:04.94]What happened to the ride 'em cowboy
[02:09.35]Living his life out on the range
[02:13.76]He's just another hired hand now
[02:18.12]In a film called hometown  USA
[02:40.79]Now they don't know their fate is turning
[02:45.17]They're drifting closer in the dark
[02:49.70]And as he steps in for a quick one
[02:54.08]She’s already at the bar
[02:58.62]Tonight her lines will come so natural
[03:03.23]And he'll tell tales of trails he rode
[03:07.54]They'll fall in love beneath the neon
[03:12.10]Tonight they're gonna steal the show
[03:16.50]Sure didn't turn out like they planned
[03:20.95]But now they've found their own true way
[03:25.58]It's not the big break that they dreamed of
[03:29.93]But you know they're gonna be okay
[03:34.50]It's not a bad part after all now
