Outsider In My Hometown
Rick Amburgey

Verse 1:
I had to find a new way to work
One that doesn’t run past our old street
Spent so much time in that little house
Where we made sweet love and memories
I wish they’d close that pizza joint
Where I took you for our first date
And that bowling alley on Millard Drive
Cause It was our Friday night favorite

Pre-Chorus:
Those are just three of the places
That are off limits to me now
Baby, did you know you made me

Chorus:
An outsider in my hometown
Just like a modern-day Jesse James
I’m not the one who wanted out
But I’m still getting all the blame
Never felt this alone til now
Like an outsider in my hometown
An outsider in my hometown

Verse 2:
We broke up and friends went silent
Looks like some of them took your side
I ain’t trying to call you out
But they must have believed your lies
And now I’m…

Chorus:
I'm an outsider in my hometown
Just like a modern-day Jesse James
I’m not the one who wanted out
But I’m still getting all the blame
I was sitting on a cloud but now
Like I’m an outsider in my hometown
An outsider in my hometown

Bridge:
Well, I guess today’s your big day
My invite got lost in the mail
I came to the church anyway
I can’t go in and this hurts like hell
Oh, I feel like

Chorus:
An outsider in my hometown
Just like a modern-day Jesse James
I’m not the one who wanted out
But I’m still getting all the blame
Never felt this alone til now
Like I’m an outsider in my hometown
An outsider in my hometown
