Give Me Back My Hometown

(专辑： The Songwriter Tapes, Vol. 3 - 2023)

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 them going crazy
And up here so am I
Thinking about
You sitting there saying
I hate this, I hate it
If you couldn't stand
Living here why'd you take it
Take it
Give me back my hometown
'Cause this is my hometown

All the colors of my youth
The red, the green
The hope, the truth
Are beating me black and blue
'Cause you're in every scene
My friends try to cheer me up
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
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah
Ah ooh, yeah, yeah

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
Just give me back my hometown
'Cause this is my hometown
