Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
She left on Sunday afternoon
The sun was gold but the roads were cruel
It's the only way for everyone concerned, she said
I watched the taillights fade like summer roads
I asked her where she had to go
She smiled like someone who already knows
Said you'll see someday this town was never mine
And I was just the echo she left behind
Don't you worry it'll all make sense tomorrow
Don't be sorry if our names just drift away
There's more to find in the breaking of each day
You'd better understand I'm not your hometown girl
Oh, she's the wild wind in a quiet world
Trading sidewalks for a string of pearls
Every dream she chased unfurls
She said one day you'll know why I had to go
I'm not your hometown girl
She took nothing but her clothes
Left the laughter folded in the shadows
I swore I'd never laugh again
The day I lost my mirror and my friend
Don't you worry it'll all make sense tomorrow
Don't be sorry for the life we fade away
There's so much light in the cracks of a new day
That you'd never understand I'm not your hometown girl
And I saw her face in every passing train
And every goodbye the whisper of my name
Now I drive the same old streets at dawn
But her voice still tells me to move on
Guitar Solo
Girl
Now I know she's a wild wind in a quiet world
Trading safety for a flag unfurled
Every dream she chased still curls
Like smoke in the sky, a pearl in the world
And I understand she's just a hometown girl
Just a hometown girl
Just a hometown girl
Just a hometown girl
