Hometown

Well, I've been stuck in this town for so long

I thought I would go nuts

And I don't know where I'm going

But I know that there's just too damn much

I wanna leave this small city

Find out what them big towns have got

Although when I show up there

There ain't a whole lot more to spare than what I thought

It ain't better there, or what you've heard

Or whatever the hell you thought

In my hometown, living life while I'm away

Yeah, my sound, a radio in my drive-way

There's no better day

And I didn't even know it yet

Impossible to forget

I'll miss you when I'm gone

Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone

And as I walk through these neon lights

Don't know where the hell I am tonight

Just another big 'ol city

And don't you think she's pretty

Oh, but I'm left here all alone

And it ain't better there, or what you heard

Or whatever the hell you thought

In my hometown, living life while I'm away

Yeah, my sound, a radio in my drive-way

There's no better day

And I didn't even know it yet

Impossible to forget

I'll miss you when I'm gone

Oh, Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone

And I think back, talking trash and sitting on football fields

Way after midnight, talkin' 'bout how reckless we feel

Oh, and I remember throwing rocks, up at your window sill

Oh, how it feels

In my hometown, living life while I'm away

Yeah, my sound, a radio in my drive-way

There's no better day

And I didn't even know it yet

Impossible to forget

I'll miss you when I'm gone

Oh, Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone
