Lyrics
Hometown
Verse 1
Welcome to my home town
Nearest neighbor lives just about a mile down
Nothins changed from the traffic light
To the one pump station or the five and dime
Never had the money for a college education
So I'm manager at the station
Asked my high school sweetheart
For her hand had a ceremony at the park
Honeymoon down by the lake
With a Coleman camper and a Chevrolet
Yesterday the doctor said a baby is due in April
Wife will work until she's unable
Chorus
If I saw a shooting star tonight, if I had a wish that I could make
I wouldn't change a single thing; I'd leave it all the same
Every little home town memory, whether it's a teardrop or a smile
They're a part of who I am; they make it all worthwhile
Verse 2
Got a few traditions
Gonna pass em on down to my children
Always help each other out
It's what this family's all about
Never hesitate to lend a hand to a fellow neighbor
Don't be afraid to do them a favor
And try to lead a good life
Do the best you can it'll turn out right
Be sure to practice what you preach
And live the lessons that you teach
When you say a prayer at the evening dinner table
Count your blessings and be thankful
Chorus
Bridge
For a hundred years or more
My family's been in this here town
Every generation keeps...it...go...in...strong
Chorus
Nothin's changed, still looks the same, it's my home town
Traffic light, to the five and dime, that's my home town
Family, is all I need, in my home town (Fade)
