half of my hometown

(アルバム： kelsea - 2020)

Half of my high school got too drunk
Half of my high school fell in love
With the girl next door
In their daddy's Ford
Half of my main street's mini skirts
Half of my main street's dressed for church
It could use some rain
And a fresh coat of paint

Half of my hometown's still hanging around
Still talking about that one touchdown
They're still wearing red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown they all got out
Some went north
Some went south
Still looking for a feeling half of us ain't found
So stay or leave
Part of me will always be
Half of my hometown

Half of our prom queens cut their hair
Half of them think that it ain't fair
The quarterback moved away and never came back
Half of my family is happy I left
The other half worries I'll just forget
Where I came from
Same place where they came from

Half of my hometown's still hanging around
Still talking about that one touchdown
They're still wearing red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown they all got out
Some went north
Some went south
Still looking for a feeling half of us ain't found
So stay or leave
Part of me will always be
Half of my hometown
Half of my hometown

Backroads raise us
Highways they take us
Memories make us wanna go back

To our hometown, settle down
Talk about that one touchdown
Raise some kids in red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown was in the crowd
They knew the words
They sang them loud
And all I wanna do is make them proud
Cause half of me will always be
Knoxville, Tennessee
My hometown
My hometown
