DRIVING THROUGH MY HOMETOWN

There's a field where I hit my first home run, they never found the ball

There's those woods where I had my first dance with alcohol

Bar where my first band played, even though we were underage

See that steeple, hind those maples, that's where I got saved

Feels like I've rode these roads a million times

A million memories right before my eyes

Driving through my hometown, flipping off my best friends

Banging up a johnboat, throwing shiners on some heavy bend

Stopping at my grandpa's, working on a two-stroke

Saying you know nothing 'bout what's coming through this radio

When it's my last settin' sun, said and done

Saying goodbye with one hand hanging out the window

I hope heaven's like driving through my hometown

Driving through my hometown

Me and my buddy ran that barbwire, we set every post

His sister called me just last month and said he overdosed

Didn't get along with the cops, but they lit up that line of trucks

I pray one day it'll be the way it was

Driving through my hometown, flipping off my best friends

Picking up my first love just to let her break my heart again

Stopping at my mamaw's, picking through tomato rows

Wish I wasn't blind to all the signs that she was gettin' old

When it's my last settin' sun, said and done

Saying goodbye with one hand hanging out the window

I hope heaven's like driving through my hometown

Driving through my hometown

And that shotgun seat there'd be my favorite dog

Around that curve, there won't be a cross

Driving through my hometown, flipping off my best friends

Banging up a johnboat, throwing shiners on some river bend

Stopping at my grandpaw's, working on a two-stroke

Singing every song they kept on playing through his radio

When it's my last settin' sun, said and done

Saying goodbye with one hand hanging out the window

I hope heaven's like driving through my hometown (oh, I hope heaven's like)

Driving through my hometown
