Damn I used to love this view

Sit here and drink a few

Main street and the high school lit up on Friday night

Down there it's another touchdown

Man this year's team is stout

I can hear them going crazy

And up here so am I

Thinking 'bout you sitting there saying I hate this I hate it

If you couldn't stand living here why'd you take it take it

Give me back my hometown

This is my hometown

All the colors of my youth

The red the green the hope the truth

are beating me black and blue blue you're in every scene

My friends try to cheer me up I get together at the Pizza Hut

I didn't have the heart to tell them that was our place

These sleepy street lights on every sidewalk side street

Shed a light on everything that used to be

Give me back my hometown

This is my hometown

Yeah yeah

Whoa oh oh oh yeah yeah

La ooh Whoa oh oh oh yeah yeah

You can have my grandma's locket

The knife out of grandpa pocket

Yeah my state champion jacket I don't care you can have it

Every made memory every picture every broken dream

Yeah everything everything everything

Give me back my hometown

This is my hometown

Yeah yeah Whoa oh oh oh yeah yeah

La ooh Whoa oh oh oh yeah yeah

La ooh Whoa oh oh oh yeah yeah

La ooh Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah

La ooh La ooh La ooh

La ooh La ooh
