| Barely 18 thought I knew it all
|
| My little hometown was way too small
|
| For the big dreams I’d been dreaming
|
| I thought the fast lane and bright lights was what I was needin'
|
| A few long years have come and gone
|
| I finally saved enough to get back home
|
| To the hills, the creeks, and timbers
|
| Where’s that slow paced laid back place I remember?
|
| Tell me where has my hometown gone?
|
| Lord this looks nothing like the place that I come from
|
| What happened to the down home road that I was raised up on
|
| Tell me where has my hometown gone?
|
| There’s a mini mall where I used to hunt squirrels
|
| Time’s made momma’s out of the girls
|
| I used to chase when I was younger
|
| They say old Mayor Baker is six feet under
|
| Riverview Drive is up to four lanes
|
| No whistle blows from that midnight train that used to haul out of Southfield
|
| Mines
|
| Yeah that quiet little place is just a memory of mine
|
| Tell me where has my hometown gone?
|
| Lord this looks nothing like the place that I come from
|
| What happened to the down home road that I was raised up on
|
| Tell me where has my hometown gone?
|
| I miss my fishin' hole, barber pole, front porch swing, drive in, skating rink,
|
| Dairy Queen
|
| Tell me where has my hometown gone?
|
| Lord this looks nothing like the place that I come from
|
| What happened to the down home road that I was raised up on
|
| Tell me where has my hometown gone? |
