Charlie Robison My Hometown Lyrics

My Hometown Lyrics

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 wont 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 to roam.
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 wont have long to
stay,
If ur ever out west son,
And ur feeling like slowin down.
I'll
see you around,
Around my hometown.
I'll see you around,
Around my
hometown.
