To be honest you can be away from home and not your hometown and be homesick. I hate my hometown but get homesick for my home the place I live and where my heart resides. But with any song fifty people can take away fifty different meanings and message that's the joy of writing. So no one is right or wrong for! Hat the take away from it. Many bands are asked what the are saying in their songs and have heard them say leave it to the fans. Ask them hat they take from it and what they feel. But gotta say I love what you all say and think. It's awesome.
