Your Town

New Years at the Chanticleer, and I just signed My record deal Someone's singing karaoke, just a townie playing Make-believe There you were, spinning 'round in your cardboard crown You said, "Congrats, you made it out, but Don't forget about your town Don't forget where you came from 'Cause first, you're up then you're down, come crashing back to Earth And there's no one around Don't forget about the pain Of being young and forgotten When you're up on that stage, at the top of your game Don't forget who taught you to play Don't forget about me" I was just another shy kid on the playground 'Til you came around Had big ideas and bigger dreams that no one seemed To give a shit about There you were, you said, "If you've got a song, well, sing it loud" Told me someday I'd make it out, but Don't forget about your town Don't forget where you came from 'Cause first, you're up then you're down, come crashing back to Earth And there's no one around Don't forget about the pain Of being young and forgotten And when you're up on that stage, at the top of your game Don't forget who taught you to play Don't forget about me Don't forget about me Oh Found a voicemail that you left me back in Two thousand and seventeen You said, "I'm sorry you don't call me more I guess you're just too busy for me" They were playing your song in the CVS downtown And I just called to say, "I'm so proud" I won't forget about my town And I won't forget where I came from 'Cause I've been up, I've been down, came crashing back to Earth But you're not around I'm sorry I don't hear from you more, but I have to tell you I am loving this new song It is amazing I had to introduce it to my entire family And I just wanna say I'm so proud of you Keep going, brother
