Hometown Lyrics

Well I've been stuck in this town for so long

I thought I would go nuts

I don't know where I'm going

But I know that there's just too damn much

I want to leave this small city

And find out what them big towns have got

Though when I show up there

There ain't a whole lot more to spare than what I thought

It ain't better there, or what you've heard

Or whatever the hell you thought

In my hometown, living life while I'm away

Yeah my sound, a radio in my drive-way

There's no better day

I didn't even know it yet

Impossible to forget

I'll miss you when I'm gone

Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone

As I walk through these neon lights

Don't know where the hell I am tonight

Just another big 'ol city

Don't you think she's pretty

But I'm left here all alone

It ain't better there, or what you heard

Or whatever the hell you thought

In my hometown, living life while I'm away

Yeah my sound, a radio in my drive-way

There's no better day

I didn't even know it yet

Impossible to forget

I'll miss you when I'm gone

Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone

And I think back, talking trash and sitting on football fields

Way after midnight, talking bout how reckless we feel

I remember throwing rocks, up at your window sill

Oh how it feels

In my hometown, living life while I'm away

My sound, a radio in my drive-way

There's no better day

I didn't even know it yet

Impossible to forget

I'll miss you when I'm gone

Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone
