My Hometown

Well, I had a buddy back in '81 and we

made ourselves a pact

We were headin' for the new pipeline

we were never comin' back

We worked 80 hours makin' time

and a half but

La Grange was too damn hot

So we drove back home here at the

end of that week

And we spent it all on pot

Chorus

So, I'll see you in Houston if I ever get

out that way

I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have

long to stay

If you're ever out West, son

And you're feelin' like slowin' down

I'll see you around, 'round my hometown

Well, I played ball every single fall I could

run just like the wind

I went to college like they asked me to, but

they didn't ask my friends

I don't think I seen a single classroom but I

drank a lot of beer

My buddies still love to listen to me when I

talk about that year

Chorus

Now I got myself a little band

and we're pretty good I guess

But I never learned how to wear my hair

And I never learned how to dress

So I'm leaving for the last time honey

I'm never more to roam

Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time

Gonna head my ass back home

So, I'll see you in Nashville if I ever

get out that way

I'll see you in Austin but I won't

have long to stay

If you're ever out West, son

And you're feelin' like slowin' down

I'll see you around, 'round my hometown
