Hometown
Well I've been stuck in this town for so long
I thought I would go nuts
I don't know where I'm going
But I know that there's just too damn much
I want to leave this small city
And find out what them big towns have got
Though when I show up there
There ain't a whole lot more to spare than what I thought
It ain't better there, or what you've heard
Or whatever the hell you thought
In my hometown, living life while I'm away
Yeah my sound, a radio in my drive-way
There's no better day
I didn't even know it yet
Impossible to forget
I'll miss you when I'm gone
Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone
As I walk through these neon lights
Don't know where the hell I am tonight
Just another big 'ol city
Don't you think she's pretty
But I'm left here all alone
It ain't better there, or what you heard
Or whatever the hell you thought
In my hometown, living life while I'm away
Yeah my sound, a radio in my drive-way
There's no better day
I didn't even know it yet
Impossible to forget
I'll miss you when I'm gone
Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone
And I think back, talking trash and sitting on football fields
Way after midnight, talking bout how reckless we feel
I remember throwing rocks, up at your window sill
Oh how it feels
In my hometown, living life while I'm away
My sound, a radio in my drive-way
There's no better day
I didn't even know it yet
Impossible to forget
I'll miss you when I'm gone
Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone
