Hell Out Of A Hometown

It ain't the city lights

Begging my heart to leave

This ain't a guitar in the back seat

Chasing dreams kinda thing

I still love the same old same

Everybody knows your name

Football game Friday night

But I can't drive down all those back roads slow after midnight

Can't go to the bar just to be left alone

Can't go to the church on Sunday morning

'Cause all I see is wildfire and brimstone, oh

Might as well board it all up

Might as well shut it all down

God knows it ain't what it was

You made a hell out of a hometown

Who knew the devil drove a black

Ford four by four?

And he would burn me like

Nobody's ever done before, to my core

I wanna stay but gotta go

This place is going up in smoke

Don't matter if you're here, or you're gone

'Cause I can't drive down all those back roads slow after midnight

Can't go to the bar just to be left alone

Can't go to the church on Sunday morning

'Cause all I see is wildfire and brimstone, oh

Might as well board it all up

Might as well shut it all down

God knows it ain't what it was

You made a hell out of a hometown

Hell out of a hometown

Everything that we were's

Everywhere that I turn

You took Heaven on Earth

Left it ashes and dirt

Now I can't drive down all those back roads slow after midnight

Can't go to the bar just to be left alone

Can't go to the church on Sunday morning

'Cause all I see is wildfire and brimstone, oh

Might as well board it all up

Might as well shut it all down

God knows it ain't what it was

You made a hell out of a hometown
