Intro: C G F Dm7 C
N.C. C
It's closing time tonight in Harlan
G
Set the alarm, turn out the lights
F
Not a soul out on the sidewalk
C
As she steps into the night
Across the parking lot she fumbles

In her handbag for the keys
F
Another long day of “Thank you's"

"Yes, ma'am's” and “May I help you, please”
F
Sure didn't turn out like she planned
C
She thought she'd be a star by now
G
Dodging paparazzi cameras
C
But she's in Harlan still somehow
F
What happened to the leading lady
C
Living her life upon the stage
G F
Still only working as an extra
C
In a film called “Hometown, USA”
INTERLUDE: C G F Dm7 C
N.C. C
Now somewhere south of town on 40
G
A Greyhound bus rolls through the night
F
Staring out a greasy window
C
He keeps searching for the lights
No choice but head back home to Harlan
G
When foreclosure shut him down
F
And after all that he had worked for
G
Just to end up right back in your hometown
F
What happened to the “Ride 'em cowboy”
C
Living his life out on the range
G
He's just another hired hand now
C
In a film called “Hometown, USA”
