Big kid, big city, don’t feel the same When I look around, I don’t know the name Of the sweet, little lady in the checkout lane It’s so strange to me And my studio don’t got the room Of the place I used to watch cartoons I need to go back there real soon Just so you’ll see My hometown, when I drive around The smooth black streets with rocks on the ground To see that old little house, a shade of brown That’s where I grew up You see that football field, fresh cut and green In the backyard of the most beautiful girl I’d seen That’s what I thought when I was thirteen Yeah, life ain’t tough And you get those buddies together one time a year Talkin’ glory days and the God we fear Makin’ fun of Big Jimmy ‘cause he got the tears Running down his face Then we all agree that this little town Has got its ups and it’s got its downs But growing up somewhere else around Wouldn’t beat this place Yeah, that’s my hometown Then you take me somewhere down the road No dot on the map, but it’s called Blacks Grove A town you could span with a baseball throw That I’d never been You see the beat-up trailer where you spent your teens And the little white church on First and Main Stood by your mama’s side on her wedding day Then you say My hometown, when I drive around The rocky road streets with a bottle of Crown To find a place to park so we could put it down I can take you there And as soon as you step in that high school gym You can point to the spot sat old man Tim Came to every game from net to rim Didn’t know a soul And there’s a Dairy Queen just past the light Where me and my friends met every Friday night Buying ice cream cones and a bag of fries Thought we were cool Then we all agree that this little town Has got its ups and it’s got its downs But growing up somewhere else around Wouldn’t beat this place Yeah, that’s my hometown It’s where I learned to ride my bike And I shot hoops on that little Tike My dad would throw me nothin’ but strikes I had my first love and my first kiss In the place I always seem to miss I never thought I would feel like this And the lights that go up and down The main street of this little town Might as well be my runway to touch down ‘Cause if I ever need a piece of home I know just right where I’ll go By plane or train or even county road Yeah, that’s my hometown, when I drive around The smooth black streets with rocks on the ground To see that old little house, a shade of brown That’s where I grew up You see that football field, fresh cut and green In the backyard of the most beautiful girl I’d seen That’s what I thought when I was thirteen Yeah, life ain’t tough And you get those buddies together one time a year Talkin’ glory days and the God we fear Makin’ fun of Big Jimmy ‘cause he got the tears Running down his face Then we all agree that this little town Has got its ups and it’s got its downs But growing up somewhere else around Wouldn’t beat this place Yeah, that’s my hometown
