Hometown Girl

She grew up around here on that southwest side

Where the corn grows up to the road side

Went to high school here, got that Panther pride

She'll be cheering 'em on every Friday night

She couldn't hide her beauty with a baseball cap

Couldn't help but shine with a heart like that

New York called when she turned twenty one

But she never forgot where she came from

I need a pretty little homegrown hometown girl

With a ribbon tying back those waterfall curls

I've been looking all over, all over the world

For a pretty little homegrown hometown girl

Her momma's momma was born right here

And her roots run deeper than that old town square

She's a good girl, but she's not uptight

She can rise and shine and she can hang all night

I need a pretty little homegrown hometown girl

With a ribbon tying back those waterfall curls

I've been looking all over, all over the world

For a pretty little homegrown hometown girl

She's got an old soul, she's the salt of the earth

When she gives her love, she knows what it's worth

There's a lot of pretty girls out there to me

But there's nothing like the one right across the street

I need a pretty little homegrown hometown girl

With a ribbon tying back those waterfall curls

I've been looking all over, all over the world

For a pretty little homegrown hometown girl

I need a pretty little homegrown hometown girl
