Hometown Dirt
By Glen Hofbauer

Some say they think they know
why Maggie wasn’t at church
They heard Billy ‘s done left town
Without a single word

There’s whispers she’d be hard to live with
So no one seems surprised
But they don’t know what Maggie endured
Inside that house at night

Rumor mill keeps on grindin’
Why should truth get in the way?
Just Be assured that by tomorrow
It speculate’s on what you did today

Is it Fact or fiction?
Well now that don’t really matter
You won’t believe what I just heard
Why should we care about who this affects hereafter?
That small town wind always seems to stir…that hometown dirt, hometown dirt

Those new folks on the edge of town
Things there seem a little bit strange
Word is he’s been out of work
How’d they afford all those things?

Lord only knows where they get their money
To be livin’ in a house like that
If you ask me I think they’re getting by
Dealin’ contraband out the back

Is it Fact or fiction?
Well now that don’t really matter
You won’t believe what I just heard
Why should we care about who this affects hereafter?
That small town wind always seems to stir…that hometown dirt, hometown dirt

That hometown dirt, hometown dirt
