Hometown Blues
Chasing Dreams in Small Town Lights
Lyrics
Baby can't wait baby gotta go
Baby is in a hurry to leave.
Gotta do a number on the late night show
She needs to perform on a late-night show.
Do a little song do a little dance
Planning to sing and dance during the performance.
Wanna make the best of her big chance.
She wants to make the most of her significant opportunity.
Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Whether she succeeds or fails, it doesn't matter.
Tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues.
Trying to cope with the challenges of hometown life.
I got a friend got a little girl
A friend has a girl who is highly praised.
Said she's the best in the whole wide world
Considered the best in the world.
Said it so good said its unreal
Although the praise is intense, it may not last.
Might not last but it's no big deal.
Not overly concerned if the relationship doesn't endure.
Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the indifferent attitude.
Tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues.
Dealing with the challenges and limitations of hometown life.
Baby, save me, save me, save me
Expressing a plea for help and support.
With your sweet smile
Seeking assistance with a sweet smile.
Honey, I really need your love
Expressing a genuine need for love.
To help me kill a little bit o time.
Desiring companionship to pass the time.
All of the girls run with the crowd
Describing the tendency of girls to follow the crowd.
They go wild when the lights go down
They become enthusiastic when the lights dim.
They got a little money live in a dream
Despite limited resources, they live in a dream world.
Wanna be the queen of their little scene.
Aspiring to be the queen of their social circle.
Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Reiteration of indifference to success or failure.
Tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues.
Continuing to face challenges in the hometown.
Baby, save me, save me, save me
Repetition of a plea for emotional support.
With your sweet smile
Seeking help with a sweet smile once again.
Honey, I really need your love
Reaffirming the genuine need for love.
To help me kill a little bit o time.
Desiring companionship to pass the time, repeated.
All of the girls run with the crowd
Reiteration of girls following the crowd and getting wild.
They go wild when the lights go down
Excitement during the dimming of lights, repeated.
They got a little money live in a dream
Despite limited resources, they live in a dream world, repeated.
Wanna be the queen of their little scene.
Aspiring to be the queen of their social circle, repeated.
Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Reiteration of indifferent attitude towards success or failure.
Tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues.
Continuing to confront challenges in the hometown.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Expressing emotions with vocalizations.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Continuation of vocal expressions.
