My Hometown from Today's Gurl by Camela Widad
“My Hometown” is a reckoning for Widad who could not get out of small town rural Wisconsin fast enough but then ended up writing a love letter to small town American life that captures the universality and sweetness of that life. It showcases Camela’s talent as an Americana Troubadour.

Lyrics
How did they get up so high
Weren’t they scared to fall
Just to paint their names
One the water tower wall
Behind the old brick school
Built in 1908
It stood for 80 years
Till something bigger took it’s place
Where the train comes once a week
A safe place where the grass is still greener
Artists and Architects, Farmers and Lovers
You can see the stars
At Midnight
Tonight in My Hometown
The settlers said the spring green
Took their breath away
So it became the town’s namesake
Frank Lloyd Wright called it home
And the theaters too
We were Rednecks
And Trainwrecks
Just dreamers through and through
Chorus
Amazing grace, how sweet
That saved me
I once was lost
But now I’m found
Where the train comes once a week
A safe place where the grass is still greener
Artists and Architects, Farmers and Lovers
You can see the stars
At Midnight
Tonight in My Hometown
