give me back my hometown

Eric Church

Damn I used to loved this view, sit here and drink a few
Main street and the high school lit up on a friday night
Down there it s another touchdown
man this years team is stout
I can hear em going crazy, and up here so am I

Thinkin bout you sittin 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

The red, the green, the hope, the truth
Are beatin 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 em, that was our place

These sleepy street lights on every sidewalk, side street
Shine a light on everything that used to be

Give me back my hometown, cause this is my hometown

You can have my grandma s locket
the knife outta my grandpa s pocket
Yea my state champion jacket, I don t care you can have it
Every made memory, every picture, every broken dream
Yea everything, everything, everything

Give me back my hometown, cause this is my hometown
