Kenny Foster - Hometown lyrics

rate me

I had a dusty box of trophies in the attic

Till that attic took a trip to "kingdom come"

I guess that storm had sent it flying back to high school

And in the rubble said they'd only found the one.

Mom said she never had the room to keep ‘em

Said they always took up way too dang much space

But when I saw her safe and sound, Dad and Sister by her side

I'd have given her a trophy for that face.

I can think of better things to put my hometown on the map

Than to have it blown clear off it Sunday Night

But if I know her like I know I do,

She ain't goin' down without a fight.

Here in my hometown

It's just like your hometown

We've got sisters, we've got brothers,

Memories of one another we hold dear

Here in my hometown

The one like your hometown

Sure there might be a little less of it

We might have a bigger mess of it

But all we really need is all still here

Here in our hometown

I know each girl dreams of being princess

To wear that dress and walk daddy down the aisle

Instead they searched through what was left of their old kitchen

And pulled that veil from underneath the pile

Three stories made a heap upon their shoulders

Must have felt like this whole world came crashing in

But they took it step by step, found a Laundromat and then

Made that dress all sparkling white again

I can think of better things to put my hometown on the map

Than to have it blown clear off it Sunday Night

But if I know folks like I know folks in my town

They're gonna be alright

Here in my hometown…

Mother Nature ain't around to answer questions

But what she tore down, we're building right back up

When you've got everything to gain,

Well then what's a little rain

Gonna do to folks that don't know when to stop…

Here in my hometown

It's just like your hometown

We ain't got a lot of things,

but we've got memories that we hold dear

Yeah here in my hometown…

In our home town…
