My Hometown

Well, i had a buddy back in '81
And we made ourselves a pact
We were headin' for the new pipeline
We were never comin' 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

Chorus:
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 ur ever out west son
And ur 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

Chorus:
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 wrong
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 ur ever out west son
And youre feeling like slowin down
I'll see you around
Around my hometown
I'll see you around
Around my hometown
