My Hometown

How did they get up so high Weren't they scared to fall Just to paint their names On the water tower wall Behind the old brick school Built in 1908 It stood for 80 years Till something bigger took it's place Where the train comes once a week A safe place where the grass is still greener Artists and Architects, Farmers and Lovers You can see the stars At Midnight Tonight in My Hometown The settlers said the spring green Took their breath away So it became the town's namesake Frank Lloyd Wright called it home And the theaters too We were Rednecks And Trainwrecks Just dreamers through and through Where the train comes once a week A safe place where the grass is still greener Artists and Architects, Farmers and Lovers You can see the stars At Midnight Tonight in My Hometown Amazing grace, how sweet That saved me I once was lost But now I'm found Where the train comes once a week A safe place where the grass is still greener Artists and Architects, Farmers and Lovers You can see the stars At Midnight Tonight in My Hometown
