hometown

Oh-oh, oh-oh

We never had snow like this in Texas

Neighbors say that it's too cold

The winter's always been the only time

That everyone I love stays home

And, oh, I know this won't last forever

We're not frozen like the ice

And, oh, and, so I thank god for the weather

'Cause it's keeping us inside

One day your voice will be a memory

Suddenly, your seat at the table will be empty

Your tire tracks in the road

Will be covered up in snow (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Family's gathered in your kitchen

Over time, the sink gets piled up with dishes

When you go, I can hold down

The winter in our hometown

Know I should've made more time, I'm trying for this year

On your birthday, forgot to call (oh-oh, oh-oh)

You told me in the morning you won't always be here

Don't like thinking 'bout it all (oh-oh, oh-oh)

And, oh, I know this won't last forever

We're not frozen like the ice (oh-oh, oh-oh)

And, oh, and, so, I thank god for the weather

'Cause it's keeping us inside (oh-oh, oh-oh)

One day your voice will be a memory

Suddenly, your seat at the table will be empty

Your tire tracks in the road

Will be covered up in snow (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Family's gathered in your kitchen

Over time, the sink gets piled up with dishes

When you go, I can hold down (oh-oh, oh-oh)

The winter in our hometown (oh-oh, oh-oh)

And I know I'm always running my mouth

But I understand we're being serious now

When you have to go, I'll make the family proud

I'll keep the fire from dying out (oh-oh, oh-oh)

And I'm glad I was raised in the south

It taught me to keep my two feet on the ground

I'll steady the ship, this is my earthly bow (oh-oh, oh-oh)

I'll keep the fire from dying out (oh-oh, oh-oh)

One day your voice will be a memory

Suddenly, your seat at the table will be empty

When you go, I can hold down (hold down)
