Charlie Robison - My Hometown(2021)

[00:21.39] Well, i had a buddy back in '81,
[00:24.72] And we made ourselves a pact.
[00:28.74] We were headin' for the new pipeline,
[00:31.78] We were never comin' back.
[00:35.45] Well we worked 80 hours making time and a half,
[00:38.53] But La Grange was too damn hot.
[00:42.03] We drove back home at the end of that week
[00:45.38] And we spent it all on pot.
[00:47.45] Chorus:
[00:47.95] So I'll see you in Houston,
[00:51.77] If I ever get out that way,
[00:54.62] I'll see you in dallas,
[00:58.31] But I wont have long to stay,
[01:01.31] If ur ever out west son,
[01:05.34] And ur feeling like slowing down,
[01:08.37] I'll see you around,
[01:10.42] Around my hometown.
[01:22.12] Well, I played ball every single fall,
[01:25.93] I could run just like the wind.
[01:30.01] Went to college like they asked me too
[01:33.07] But they didn't ask my friends.
[01:35.82] Don't think I seen a single classroom,
[01:39.93] But I drank a lot of beer.
[01:43.13] My buddies still love to listen to me when I talk about that year.
[01:48.98] Chorus:
[02:43.75] Now I got myself a little band,
[02:47.49] And we're pretty good I guess
[02:50.64] But I never learned how to wear my hair,
[02:54.39] And I never learned how to dress.
[02:57.77] So I'm leaving for the last time honey,
[03:01.48] I'm never more wrong.
[03:04.68] Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time gonna head my ass back home.
[03:10.50] So I'll see you in Nashville,
[03:14.13] If I ever get out that way.
[03:17.47] I'll see you in Austin,
[03:21.56] But I wont have long to stay,
[03:24.46] If ur ever out west son,
[03:28.41] And ur feeling like slowin down.
[03:31.14] I'll see you around,
[03:33.32] Around my hometown.
[03:38.37] I'll see you around,
[03:40.11] Around my hometown.
