I used to love this view, sit here and drink a few
Main street and the high school, lit up on Friday night
Down there it's another touchdown, man this year's team is style
I can hear them going crazy, and up here so am I
Thinking about you sitting there saying I hate this, I hate it
If you couldn't stand living here, why'd you take it, take it
Give me back my hometown
Cause this is my hometown
All the colors of my youth, the red, the green, the hope, the truth
I'll be me, black and blue, cause you're in every scene
My friends try to cheer me up, I get together at the pizza hub
I didn't have the heart to tell you, that was our place
These sleepy streetlights on every sidewalk, side street
You shed a light on everything
That used to be me
Give me back my hometown
Cause this is my hometown
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah
You could have my grandma's locket
The knife out of my grandpa's pocket
And my state champion jacket
I don't care, you can have it
Every main memory, every picture, every broken dream
Yeah, everything, everything, everything
Me
Give me back my hometown
Cause this is my hometown
I'll give you back my hometown
Me
Give me back my hometown
Give me back my hometown
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, yeah
La-woo, oh yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
And my strong answer to your few jokes



Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
