Hometown

I can see you're doing just fine
Just like you said you would
I don't want to waste your time
But oh baby, if I could
I would ask you what you drink
'Cause this small town
Yeah it ain't got much, but at least it sure has you

I let her show me around
Drove by her childhood house
Though she don't look like she'd ever fit into this crowd
She's sure proud

'Cause she's a hometown girl, she won't change
Sit and talk to you for hours down by the lake
And even though there's nearly 49 other states
Baby, ain't no way she's ever leaving this place
But she'll get me to stay

I met her out in Tennessee waters, our old neighbor's daughter
I was fishing for some lunch and her name
She told me that she's never leaving town
But if I'm sure to stick around
I could take her out on a date

She let me show her around
Drove by my childhood house
Now I'm back for the summer
And I've just discovered
That I'm missing out

'Cause she's a hometown girl, she won't change
Sit and talk to you for hours down by the lake
And even though there's nearly 49 other states
Baby, ain't no way she's ever leaving this place
But she'll get me to stay

She'll make me stay when the devil tempts me to leave it
She'll make me pray when it's too hard to keep believing
She'll make it tough but sweet, that's all I'd ever need

'Cause she's a hometown girl, she won't change
Sit and talk to you for hours down by the lake
And even though there's nearly 49 other states
Baby, ain't no way she's ever leaving this place
But she'll get me to stay
