Give me back my hometown

Give me back my hometown - Eric Church

Damn I used to love this view
Sit here and drink a few
Main street and the high school lit up on Friday nights
Oh look there's another touchdown
Man this year's team is stout
I can hear them goin' crazy
And up here so am I

Thinkin' bout you sittin' here sayin' I hate this I hate it
If you couldn't stand livin' here why'd ya take it take it

Give me back my hometown
Cause this is my hometown

All the colors of my youth
The reds
The greens
The hopes
The truth
Are beatin' me black and blue
Cause you're in every scene
My friends try to cheer me up
We get together at the pizza hut
I didn't have the heart to tell them that was our place
These sleepy streetlights on every sidewalk sidestreet
Shed a light on everything that used to be

Give me back my hometown
Cause this is my hometown

Yeah yeah ooooooh yeah yeah

You can have my grandma's locket
The knife outta my grandpa's pocket
My state champion jacket
I don't care you can have it
Every made memory
Every picture every broken dream
Yeah everything everything everything

Give me back my hometown
Cause this is my hometown

Yeah yeah oooh yeah yeah yeah
Ohhhh woooo oooh yeah yeah yeah
