I used to love this view
Sit here and drink a few
Main street and
the high school
Lit up on Friday night
Down there it's
another touchdown
Man this year's team is stout
I can hear them goin' crazy
And up here so am I
Thinkin' about you sittin'
there sayin' I hate this I hate it
If you couldn't stand livin'
here why'd you take it take it
Give me back my hometown
'Cause this is my hometown
All the colors of my youth
The red the green
the hope the truth
Are beatin' me black and blue
'Cause you're in every scene
My friends try
to cheer me up
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 side street
Shed a light on everything
that used to be
Give me back my hometown
'Cause this is my hometown
Yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Ah ooh
Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
You can have
my grandma's locket
The knife out of
my grandpa's pocket
Yeah 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
Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Ah ooh
Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah
Ah ooh
Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah
Ah ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh ooh ooh
