Half of my high school
got too drunk
Half of my high school
fell in love
With the girl next door
In their daddy's Ford
And half of my main street's
mini skirts
Half of my main street's
dressed for church
It could use some rain
And a fresh coat of paint
Half of my hometown's
still hangin' around
Still talkin' about that
one touchdown
They're still wearin'
red and black
Go Bobcats
while the other half
Of my hometown
They all got out
Some went north
Some went south
They're still
lookin' for a feelin'
half of us ain't found
So stay or leave
Part of me will always be
Half of my hometown
Half of our prom queens
cut their hair
Half of them think that
it ain't fair
The quarterback moved away
And never came back
Half of my family is
happy I left
The other half worries
I'll just forget
Where I came from
Same place where they
came from
Half of my hometown's
still hangin' around
Still talkin' about that
one touchdown
They're still wearin'
red and black
Go Bobcats
while the other half
Of my hometown
They all got out
Some went north
Some went south
They're still
lookin' for a feelin'
half of us ain't found
So stay or leave
Part of me will always be
Half of my hometown
Mm mm mm mm
Half of my hometown
Oh oh
Back roads raised us
Highways they take us
Memories make us
wanna go back
To our hometown
Settle down
Talk about that
one touchdown
Raise some kids
in red and black
Go Bobcats
while the other half
Of my hometown
was in the crowd
They knew the words
They sang them loud
And all I wanna do
is make them proud
'Cause half of me
will always be
Knoxville Tennessee
My hometown
Oh oh oh oh oh
My hometown
My hometown
