Hometown

There's a break in the barbed wire fence

On the edge of the fuller farm

Halfway between that cottonwood tree

And what's left of that rusted out car

There's a crack in the stained glass cross

On the back of the fellowship hall

And somebody wrote out "I love Jenny"

On the fourth street sidewalk

Every line, every inch, every mile, every bend of my hometown

In my mind, in my veins, every breath that I take, it's in me now

I want to know you like the back of my hand

And when I fall, I want you to be my place to land

I want to know that at the end of the day

That I am yours, and that's never going to change

That I'm safe and sound in your solid ground

I want to know you now like in my hometown

There's a million miles of you

That I have never driven down

And there are years and years before me

So let it all come pouring out

Every smile, every tear, every scar in the corners of your heart

Every step that you take, every breath that makes you who you are

I want to know you like the back of my hand

And when I fall, I want you to be my place to land

I want to know that at the end of the day

That I am yours, and that's never going to change

That I'm safe and sound in your solid ground

I want to know you now like my hometown

I want that city limit sign passing me by

Feeling, driving down main on a friday night

When I look into your eyes

I want to know you like the back of my hand

And when I fall, I want you to be my place to land

I want to know that at the end of the day

That I am yours, and that's never going to change

That I'm safe and sound in your solid ground

I want to know you now like in my hometown

Like my hometown

I want to know you now

Like my hometown
