Charlie Robison - My Hometown lyrics

rate me

Well, I had a buddy back in '81 and we made ourselves a pact

We were heading for the new pipeline we were never coming back

Well we worked 80 hours making time and a half

But La Grange was too damn hot

We drove back home at the end of that week and we spent it all on pot

So I'll see you in Houston If I ever get out that way

I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay

If you're ever out west son and your feeling like slowing down

I'll see you around, around my hometown

Well, I played ball every single fall I could run just like the wind

Went to college like they asked me too but they didn't ask my friends

Don't think I seen a single classroom but I drank a lot of beer

My buddies still love to listen to me when I talk about that year

So I'll see you in Houston If I ever get out that way

I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay

If you're ever out west son and your feeling like slowing down

I'll see you around, around my hometown

Now I got myself a little band and we're pretty good I guess

But I never learned how to wear my hair and I never learned how to dress

So I'm leaving for the last time honey I'm never more to roam

Gonna pack my bags a little heavy

This time gonna head my ass back home

So I'll see you in Nashville if I ever get out that way

I'll see you in Austin but I won't have long to stay

If you're ever out west son and your feeling like slowing down

I'll see you around, around my hometown

I'll see you around, around my hometown
