Down with the ravens
The music don't die
Dancers, cheaters, and lovers
All loosen their ties
We drank fire from the water
Til the dawn was passed due
You told me you couldn't find her
'Cause all you do is roam
All you do is roam
O Brother, I don't have much to say
But I can try to shoulder your pain
Hometown hero, welcome home
Heroes can live alone
How was El Paso?
Was Seattle dry?
Man I envy your wanderin'
But why should I?
Oh the bottom will pick you up and spit you out
Pick you up and spit you out
Pick you up and spit you out again
And again
Oh Brother, I don't have much to give
I'm still learning how to live
Hometown Hero, where's your home
You don't have to live alone
Making space in your attic
Clearing bones in your chest
Making a home's not so easy
Found a Californian woman
The sunshine's in her hair
Does she take away your lonely
Does she take your fear
O Brother, I don't have much to say
But I can try to shoulder your pain
Hometown hero, welcome home
I'm glad that you're not alone
