Half of my high school got too drunk

Half of my high school fell in love

With the girl ne t door

In their daddy's Ford

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

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

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, half of my hometown

Back roads raise 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

From Kno ville, Tennessee

My hometown

Oh

My hometown

My hometown
