She grew up around here
on that southwest side
Where the corn grows
up to the road side
Went to high school here
Got that Panther pride
She'll be cheerin' them on
every Friday night
She couldn't hide her beauty
with a baseball cap
Couldn't help but shine
with a heart like that
New York called
when she turned 21
But she never forgot
where she came from
I need a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
With a ribbon tyin' back those
waterfall curls
I've been lookin' all over
All over the world
For a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
Her mama's mama was
born right here
And her roots run deeper
than that old town square
She's a good girl
But she's not uptight
She can rise and shine
And she can hang all night
I need a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
With a ribbon tyin' back those
waterfall curls
I've been lookin' all over
All over the world
For a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
She's got an old soul
She's the salt of the earth
And when she gives her love
She knows what it's worth
There's a lot of pretty girls
out there to me
But there's nothin' like the one
right across the street
I need a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
With a ribbon tyin' back those
waterfall curls
I've been lookin' all over
All over the world
For a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
I need a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
