This Town

Me and all my friends down by the river, fourteen running through the streets Living on a prayer in a teenage wasteland, trying not to bust at the seams We were young, so low tryn'a get high Praying up above that our dreams never die Putting that Jeep into four-wheel drive Shining like stars in the sky We grew up in this town We screwed up in this town Had each other's backs when we got off track Man life moves fast In this town baby I can never get away I don't wanna leave but you know I can't stay There's something 'bout these hills and those country roads That makes me feel at home in this town We laughed, we cried, we stayed out all night We did everything wrong, but we turned out alright Baby it's bittersweet You can take me out of this town But you can't take this town out of me Well some of us move on, some get locked up And some don't make it out I think about those days when we'd just meet up at Adam's house and ride around We were so young, so lost, tryna get by Couldn't tell us nothing we had too much pride Spending our weekends working part time We were just tryna survive Cuz we were raised in this town Learned how to pray in this town Seen my friends die, seen mommas cry, still asking why In this town baby I can never get away I don't wanna leave but you know I can't stay There's something 'bout these hills and those country roads That makes me feel at home in this town We laughed, we cried, we stayed out all night We did everything wrong, but we turned out alright Baby it's bittersweet You can take me out of this town But you can't take this town out of me Cuz we grew up in this town We screwed up in this town I'll remember us the way it was It's always love In this town baby I can never get away I don't wanna leave but you know I can't stay There's something 'bout these hills and those country roads That makes me feel at home in this town We laughed, we cried, we stayed out all night We did everything wrong, but we turned out alright Baby it's bittersweet You can take me out of this town But you can't take this town out of me
