Story Behind The Song
This song is for anyone who grew up in a small town and cherishes the memories it brings. As life gets more complicated when we get older, those memories of childhood and the town where we grew up become more and more precious. He longs to go back to the town, but I really think he longs to go back to his childhood. (PS - I'm from Nebraska, so I had to make it a town in Nebraska)

Lyrics
WESTERN TOWN IN NEBRASKA
I'm from a western town in Nebraska
Don't know why I left so long ago
All I know is this western town in Nebraska
Lives in my heart and my soul.
Grew up in this western town in Nebraska
Runnin' home from school, playin' ball in the street
When I see my Ma, I'm gonna ask her,
"Was life really so simple and so sweet?"
I'm goin' home to where the buffalo roam
So I can see my next of kin - and maybe have a gin
I'm goin' back to see my Uncle Jack
But most of all can't wait to feel my Mama's lovin' arms.
I'm from a western town in Nebraska
We're one family - neighbors and friends
We all know this western town in Nebraska
Is the place where the love never ends.
I'm goin' home to where the buffalo roam
So I can see my next of kin - and maybe have a gin
I'm goin' back to see my Uncle Jack
But most of all can't wait to feel my Mama's lovin' arms.
I'm from a western town in Nebraska
Can't wait to hear some tales of long ago
Because this western town in Nebraska lives in my heart and my soul
Yes, it lives in my heart and my soul
