Slow Down Hometown

When I drove away, you just let me Like you forgot about the day you met me And all we'd been through Apache blue Meant more to me than it meant to you It's a real hard lesson to learn When the prodigal son returns And there ain't no parade All your records are shattered There's new names hanging up in the rafters Slow down, hometown Why you gotta move so fast? Tell me why it feels like I'm the only one lookin' back Oh, home sweet hometown I hope that I made you proud I wish you well It hurts like hell, but you're somebody else's now Didn't think you could go on without me Thought these streets revolved around me But I outgrew you, couldn't hold me Never thought that you'd outgrow me, too Used to think that I hated you Now, I wonder what I'd be if I stayed with you Is there any part of me that you take with you? That you take with you Slow down, hometown Why you gotta move so fast? Tell me why it feels like I'm the only one lookin' back Oh, home sweet hometown I hope that I made you proud I wish you well It hurts like hell, but you're somebody else's now The house that I grew up in Won't ever be home again, no You never know what you got until you're gone Truth is, life goes on without me in it But for just one minute Won't you slow down hometown? Why you gotta move so fast? Tell me why it feels like I'm the only one lookin' back Oh, home sweet hometown I hope that I made you proud I wish you well It hurts like hell, but you're somebody else's now Slow down, slow down, slow down Slow down, slow down, slow down Slow down, slow down, slow down Slow down, slow down, slow down
