Home Boy

Oh, homeboy
Not exactly on a roll, boy
Just growing on, here
Homeboy
Oh, homeboy
You've not been catching many waves
Not been catching many trains
Out of here
Homeboy
Never one to wander
Never one to dream
Happy with a game of darts and the team
Can't tear yourself away
Even for a holiday
Homeboy
And you know every bend in every road
That takes you back to town
It your homeground.
Never one to wander
Never one to dream
Happy with a game of darts and the team
Can't tear yourself away even for a holiday
Homeboy
