My Hometown

Well, I had a buddy back in '81 And we made ourselves a pact We were headin' for the new pipeline We were never comin' back (I know that ...) Well we worked 80 hours making time and a half But La Grange was too damn hot We drove back home at the end of that week And we spent it all on pot So I'll see you in Houston If I ever get out that way I'll see you in Dallas But I won't have long to stay If you're ever out west, son And your feeling like slowing down I'll see you around Around my hometown Well, I played ball every single fall I could run just like the wind Went to college like they asked me too But they didn't ask my friends Don't think I've seen a single classroom But I drank a lot of beer My buddies still love to listen to me When I talk about that year So I'll see you in Houston If I ever get out that way I'll see you in Dallas But I won't have long to stay If you're ever out west, son And your feeling like slowing down I'll see you around Around my hometown What do y'all say Greenhow? Now I got myself a little band And we're pretty good, I guess What do you think? I never learned how to wear my hair And I never learned how to dress So I'm leaving for the last time sugar I ain't never more the wrong I'm gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time Gonna head my ass back home So I'll see you in Nashville If I ever get out that way I'll see you in Austin But I won't have long to stay If you're ever out west, son And you feeling like slowing down I'll see you around Around my hometown I'll see you around Around my hometown One, two, you know what to do, come y'all Thank you Greenhow
