Song Lyrics
HOMETOWNJuly 2001 By Jackson SladeI just landed here in nowhere and it ain’t no surpriseStandin’ in a hardrain ‘n it’s beating in my eyes‘n I can see this...
I just landed here in nowhere and it ain’t no surprise Standin’ in a hardrain ‘n it’s beating in my eyes ‘n I can see this light shining hangin’ on the side of a hill I started to believe it I’de seen this place before That oak tree in the shadows that old chair near the door You can almost hear the laughter hangin’ on the side of that hill I have this dream still.
I was hell bent on lookin’ for all I could see The fire was a glowin’ flickerin’ through the trees All I saw was a whisper of a place I’de like to be ‘n I have this dream in me
Chorus: But if I’m tossed in this feelin’ thinkin’ like this There’s something I’de like to know What kind of reason will take a moment like this ‘n keep it movin’ so slow If I’ve been livin’ way out of line by holdin’ my world on a string You see I have this dream.
I’m facin’ down a back road can’t see me no end Rollin’ through the darkness like some old homeless wind And I’m wonderin’ ‘bout my freedom just where have I been
Bridge: And hometown is no town if you can’t find a friend Who holds to the ways of your life. Sometimes we walk to run to the end No use in asking us why
That light in my eyes has put me dead in my tracks Does that voice sound familiar with that gun in my back Where the hell’s johns barber shop did it fall through the cracks And I had this dream further back
Chorus: If I’m tossed in this feeling of feeling like this There’s one thing I have to know What kind of reason will take a reason like this And keep it movin so slow. If I’ve been livin’ way outta line By holdin’ my world on a string You se I had this dream

I agree with Farrell in that the vocal was a bit hot, not in a performance sense but in a recording sense, I got some clipping I think. that minor gripe aside:
I really like this track a LOT. The lyric is very well done and speaks to me, the vocal is VERY well done, the harp is just right for this. VERY cool track, love it.

This is a very nice country song and the vocals are excellent! The vox are a little hot in the mix for my taste but still very good stuff!
"Style of music is hard to give a specific Genre to.. My Spanish roots come to the surface in my rhythms, and melodies to some extent. I've always loved all...
"Style of music is hard to give a specific Genre to.. My Spanish roots come to the surface in my rhythms, and melodies to some extent. I've always loved all styles of music, and I guess my motivation comes from loving how, through music, we make the world warmer and smaller, not so vast. I guess you could say I'm Rock/Country/Jazz/Pop/Blues/Latin Blues and a few more things too ugly to mention"
