My Hometown

Well, I had a buddy back in '81

And we made ourselves a pact

We were heading for the new pipeline

We were never coming back

Well, we worked eighty hours making time and a half

But La Grange was too damn hot

We drove back home at the end of the week

And we spend 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 you're feeling like slowing down

I'll see you around

'Round my hometown

Well, I played ball ever single fall

I could run just like the wind

I went to college like they asked me too

But they didn't ask my friends

Don't think I 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 you're feeling like slowing down

I'll see you around

'Round my hometown

Now I got myself a little band

And we're pretty good, I guess

But I never learned how to wear my hair

And I never learned how to dress

So I'm leaving for the last time, honey

I'm never more to roam

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're feeling like slowing down

I'll see you around

Around my hometown

I'll see you around

'Round my hometown
