"Give Me Back My Hometown" lyrics
Luke Laird, Lori McKenna & Barry Dean Lyrics
"Give Me Back My Hometown"
(originally by Eric Church)
Damn, 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 stout
I can hear them goin' crazy
And up here so am I
Thinkin' about
You sittin' there sayin'
I hate this, I hate it
If you couldn't stand
Livin' 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
Are beatin' me black and blue
'Cause you're in every scene
My friends try to cheer me up
Get together at the Pizza Hut
I didn't have the heart to
Tell them that was our place
These sleepy streetlights
On every sidewalk side street
Shed a light on everything
That used to be
Give me back my hometown
'Cause this is my hometown
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah
Ah ooh, yeah, yeah
You can have my grandma's locket
The knife out of
My grandpa's pocket
Yeah my state champion jacket
I don't care you can have it
Every made memory every picture
Every broken dream
Yeah everything, everything
Everything
Just give me back my hometown
'Cause this is my hometown

The Band Of Heathens - "Simple Things" Lately, I've been asked some questions
To things that don't have answers, it keeps me up at night
On a highwire, the world below is on fire
And I can't seem to get there in time to put it out
Hope...
Chase Rice - "Bench Seat" You were pretty beat up when I took you in
But you've come a long way since way back when
Now one of my favorite things to do
Is hop in the truck and we just cruise
And we roll the windows down...
RaeLynn - "Broken One" We grew up so differently
You had one house, one back yard, one Christmas tree
You didn't split your time, didn't wonder why, like me
When I met your momma, I met your dad, damn, its cool to see...
Caitlyn Smith - "Lately" Lately I've been planting flowers
And watching movies
Trying to keep my mind occupied
They say it takes ten thousand hours
So, I'm learning Beethoven sonatas
One measure at a time
But the truth, is...
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - "Death Wish" Did you ever love a woman with a death wish?
Something in her eyes like flipping off a light switch
Everybody dies but you gotta find a reason to carry on
Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on...
