Hometown Lyrics

How is the weather

How are the cars

I drove up the miles when high school got hard

I never got tired

Of driving at night

But you lost sleep every time

I heard you caught something

Dad said it was bad

I should have called and I'm sorry for that

But I said a prayer

Like you taught me to do

I lost my faith but I'm not losing you

I've got a home now

And a hometown

And those places aren't the same

My parents get old now

They should slow down

They said when I left that nothing would change

My brother just sent me a picture with a ring on the finger

Of a girl that I barely could name

I'm detached from it now

Was it right moving south

I just paid rent

And it didn't feel good

But I got enough money to get me some food

The grass grew a foot

And my neighbors are pissed

But who's gonna notice one more inch

I met someone good

I think mom would approve

I'm hoping you meet her if things stay smooth

I took your advice

And the pressure is off

Know that I'm well and say I love you to mom

I've got a home now

And a hometown

And those places aren't the same

My parents get old now

They should slow down

They said when I left that nothing would change

My brother just sent me a picture with a ring on the finger

of a girl that I barely could name

I'm detached from it now

Was it right moving south

But I've got a home now

And a hometown

And those places aren't the same

My parents get old now

And they'll slow down one day

Is the FaceTime enough for when my brother has a son

I guess we'll figure that out one day

I'm detached from it now

Down here in the south
