Lyrics

Sometimes you just don't belong someplace
Even if it's where you were born and raised
I'd stare out at the rows of corn and wish I could disappear
While the other kids got cheered and seemed so free
But they ain't me
I had to leave
In the Iowa night
A billion stars shine
That's what I'm made of
But I had to leave it behind
There was something else for me to find
So I had to roam
Sometimes your hometown isn't home
I knew I was different by Little League
Picking violets in the outfield
Even the parents laughed at me
I left those meadows and the summer air
'Cause I worried one day they might find my body there
Like that boy in Wyoming
With the same cross I bear
In the Iowa night
A billion stars shine
That's what I'm made of
But I had to leave it behind
There was something else for me to find
So I had to roam
Sometimes your hometown isn't home
Let some other cowboy who didn't have to go
Sing about his pickup truck and the country life he knows
He never had a thing to fear and that's what really shows
Men like him think leaving is something that I chose
In the Iowa night
A billion stars shine
That's what I'm made of
But I had to leave it behind
There was something else for me to find
So I had to roam
Sometimes your hometown isn't home
Sometimes your hometown isn't home
