Give Me Back My Hometown

Damn, I used to love this view

Sit here and drink a few

Main street and the high school lit up on Friday night

Down there it’s another touchdown

Man, this year’s team is stout

I can hear ‘em goin’ crazy

And up here so am I

Thinkin' about you, sittin' here sayin', "I hate this, I hate it"

If you couldn’t stand livin’ here, why’d you take it, take it

Give me back my hometown

This is my hometown

All the colors of my youth

The red, the green, the hope, the truth

Are beatin’ me black and blue ‘cause you’re in every scene

My friends try to cheer me up, a get-together at the Pizza Hut

I didn’t have the heart to tell them that was our place

These sleepy streetlights on every sidewalk, side street

Shed a light on everything that used to be

Give me back my hometown

'Cause this is my hometown

You can have my grandma’s locket

The knife out of my grandpa’s pocket

Yeah, my state champion jacket

I don’t care, you can have it

Every made memory

Every picture, every broken dream

Yeah, everything, everything, everything

Give me back my hometown

‘Cause this is my hometown
