hometown

I can see you're doing just fine

Just like you said you would

I don't want to waste your time

But oh baby, if I could

I would ask you what you drink

'Cause this small town

Yeah it ain't got much, but at least it sure has you

I let her show me around

Drove by her childhood house

Though she don't look like she'd ever fit into this crowd

She's sure proud

'Cause she's a hometown girl, she won't change

Sit and talk to you for hours down by the lake

And even though there's nearly 49 other states

Baby, ain't no way she's ever leaving this place

But she'll get me to stay

I met her out in Tennessee waters, our old neighbor's daughter

I was fishing for some lunch and her name

She told me that she's never leaving town

But if I'm sure to stick around

I could take her out on a date

She let me show her around

Drove by my childhood house

Now I'm back for the summer

And I've just discovered

That I'm missing out

'Cause she's a hometown girl, she won't change

Sit and talk to you for hours down by the lake

And even though there's nearly 49 other states

Baby, ain't no way she's ever leaving this place

But she'll get me to stay

She'll make me stay when the devil tempts me to leave it

She'll make me pray when it's too hard to keep believing

She'll make it tough but sweet, that's all I'd ever need

'Cause she's a hometown girl, she won't change

Sit and talk to you for hours down by the lake

And even though there's nearly 49 other states

Baby, ain't no way she's ever leaving this place

But she'll get me to stay
