Lucas Ryder - Hometown Boy Lyrics

He was just a boy with big dreams in his eyes
Left his hometown, waved his friends goodbye
Mama's tears fell like the summer rain
But he knew he had to go to ease her pain
He left the fields and the dusty roads
Traded small town life for city lights
In love with his lonesome mother, he took a stand
But boy, he became a man in this foreign land
Late night calls just to hear her voice
Worked two jobs, he didn't have a choice
Every penny earned sent back home
Though he felt alone, he was never on his own
Was never on, he was never on his own
He left the fields and the dusty roads
Traded small town life for city lights
In love to help his lonesome mother
He took a stand, he backed, though it may take a while
He left the fields and the dusty roads
Traded small town life for city lights
In love to help his lonesome mother
He took a stand, the boy became a man in this foreign land
He dreams of the days when he'll return
To the porch where his heart still yearns
Mama's arms and a gentle smile
He'll be back, though it may take a while
He left the fields and the dusty roads
Traded small town life for city lights
In love to help his lonesome mother
He took a stand, the boy became a man in this foreign land
He dreams of the days when he'll return
To the porch where his heart still yearns
Mama's arms and a gentle smile
He'll be back, though it may take a while
