Hometown Lyrics

(Born and raised)

(Oh oh)

(Born and raised)

As a kid I grew up

Moving around a lot

Always hated the response I'd get

After asking where someone's from

They would say "I've always lived here"

And by their accent it would be so clear

And I'd wish it was me

You get pretty mixed up

When your life's packed in a box

No matter how much you've got

It never quite makes up

For all the miles away from what you know

Too stubborn for "Lord I'll go where You go"

It took me so long to see

That I was

Born and raised to know always

That there's a God who loves my soul

Was out of place but on the way

I learned that wherever I go

I'm right at home, but still I

Kept asking why, like all the time

I was sure God had to be tired of me

Took a few state lines to realize

That I was right where I needed to be

Now I'm right at home

Jesus, You are my hometown

You're my hometown

You're my hometown

My hometown

You're my hometown

You're my hometown

My hometown

My old town's in the rearview looking distant

And I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it

Like there's a hole in my heart

Yeah I know I could've spent my days reminiscing

But I found my place somewhere different

Right here in Your arms

I got a new name, You did the trade

God, You made me part of the family

I guess I can't say I never played for the home team

Cuz I was

Born and raised to know always

That there's a God who loves my soul

Was out of place but on the way

I learned that wherever I go

I'm right at home, but still I

Kept asking why, like all the time

I was sure God had to be tired of me

Took a few state lines to realize

That I was right where I needed to be

Now I'm right at home

Jesus, You are my hometown

You're my hometown

You're my hometown

My hometown

You're my hometown

You're my hometown

My hometown

You're my back road

You're my drive slow

Hand out the window, wherever we go

You're my county line

That don't change with time

You're my welcome home sign

Yeah

I guess I was

Born and raised to know always

That there's a God who loves my soul

Was out of place but on the way

I learned that wherever I go

I'm right at home, but still I

Kept asking why, like all the time

I was sure God had to be tired of me

Took a few state lines to realize

That I was right where I needed to be

(You're my county line)

Now I'm right at home (That don't change with time)

(You're my welcome home)

Jesus, You are my hometown

You're my hometown

You're my hometown

My hometown

You're my hometown

You're my hometown

My hometown

You're my hometown

You're my hometown

My hometown

You're my hometown

You're my hometown

My hometown
