Hometown ft. Maggie Jean Martin Lyrics

Some things tend to stay the same

Like the way it always seems to rain here

Mack still runs that old corner store

On the corner of larch and payzant

Its nice to know that your hair hasn't changed

And your smile is still bright as ever

So I'm not doin anything

If you're not doin anything this weekend

Cause I

Have this funny feeling that

You and I

Could be something special if we

Just put aside our pride

And let go for the night

Under the lights

Of our hometown

You're just like this place

You hate that it stays the same

But I hope you don't change one bit

You're just like that coffee shop on the corner

Cause I cant think of one single person alive

Who could ever hate it

You're just like that truck you drive

The one you barely managed to keep alive

I don't think I could ever quite explain it

But you're just like this place

I can't seem to keep away

You're just like this place

You know that I won't stay

God I wish you would look at me that way

With that puppy dog hope in you're eyes

It reminds me of a face you made that day you

Heard the engine and realized that damn truck didn't die

I wish I could stay here for longer

And let you explain your favorite movies to me

But we both know that truck wont last forever

And by the weekend ill still have to leave

Cause I (you're just like this place )

Have this funny feeling that

You and I (you're just like this place)

Could be something special if we

Just put aside our pride (and I have too much pride)

And let go for the night (to let myself fall for the lights)

Under the lights

Of our hometown (of my hometown)

Not tonight if I could see this place the way you see it

If I could stand to stay I would believe it

Say you'll leave (say you'll stay)

Stuck in some hometown cliché

You're just like this place

Lord I love this place

You know I love you babe

I know that you cant stay (you know that I cant stay)
