Verse 1
Born And Raised Here, So Many Changes
Don’t Feel Now, I Even Speak The Language
Streets Drive Different, Buildings All Swapped
Old Stone And Good Bones, For Fresh Cinder Block
Neighbors Ain’t The Same As Before
No Natives Left Gettin’ Restless Anymore
Used To Have A Glow, A Humble Neon Soul
But Now That Small Town Charm’s Just For Show
Chorus
And I’m The Hider, The Crowd Fighter
Livin’ On The Inside As The Outsider
The Misfit, Delinquent
Step Kid Smokin’ In The Basement
Just A Stranger Now Livin’ In A Locals Skin...
I’m A Hometown Immigrant
Yeah, A Hometown Immigrant
Verse 2
My Talking’ Ain’t Slick, Words I Say Don’t Fit
Keepin’ The Mouth Shut Comes Under Advisement
Sizing Me Up With A Town Folk Stare
Like I’m The Asshole Came Here From Elsewhere
Old Church Is Gone, High School’s A Mall
Corner Store’s A Coffee Shop, Lattes And All
Skyline Changes With The Billboard Signs
Only Peace Of Mind Now’s Past The County Line
Chorus
And I’m The Hider, The Crowd Fighter
Livin’ On The Inside As The Outsider
The Misfit, Delinquent
Step Kid Smokin’ In The Basement
Just A Stranger Now Livin’ In A Locals Skin...
I’m A Hometown Immigrant
Yeah, A Hometown Immigrant
Bridge
Some Say It’s Progress, Some Say It’s A Shame
Home Just Ain’t Home Though When It Don’t Feel The Same
But Maybe It’s The Stories, And A Heart Resigned
And Holdin’ On To What’s Left Of Another Time
Gotta Be Okay With Things Being Different
Cause That’s Just Life As A Hometown Immigrant...
Welcome All Us Hometown Immigrants...
Chorus
Yeah, We’re The Hiders, The Crowd Fighters
Livin’ On The Inside As The Outsiders
The Misfits, Delinquents
Step Kids Smokin’ In The Basement
Yeah, We’re Strangers Now Livin’ In A Locals Skin...
We’re Hometown Immigrants
Yeah, Hometown Immigrants
