| When I turn on the news, when I drive by a church
|
| When I flip through a country station
|
| When I see cool kids in the parkin' lot, livin' up their reputation
|
| When I’m three drinks and some guy’s hittin' on a blonde, three stores down
|
| When the talk is cheap, I cannot think about the girls in my hometown
|
| Are they getting married? |
| Are they getting jaded?
|
| When they think seventeen, do they think of me
|
| And wonder if I made it?
|
| Are they really happy? |
| Are they makin' daddy proud?
|
| What makes 'em cry? |
| What gets 'em high?
|
| I think about the girls in my hometown
|
| When I see a denim jacket, when I hear a kid say dirty words
|
| When my faith’s runnin' low and me and God ain’t on the best of terms
|
| When I’m out with someone and we lose our buzz and the conversation dies out
|
| I go home by myself and I cannot think about the girls in my hometown
|
| Are they getting married? |
| Are they getting jaded?
|
| When they think seventeen, do they think of me
|
| And wonder if I made it?
|
| Are they really happy? |
| Are they makin' daddy proud?
|
| What makes 'em cry? |
| What gets 'em high?
|
| I think about the girls in my hometown
|
| When I hear the song «Strawberrry Wine»
|
| I think about, all of the fences, all painted white
|
| I think about, falling in love, a million life
|
| I think about the girls in my hometown
|
| Are they getting married? |
| Are they getting jaded?
|
| In my like it’s summertime, or just a little faded
|
| Are they really happy? |
| Are they makin' daddy proud?
|
| In the back of my mind, did they get it right?
|
| I think about the girls in my hometown
|
| What makes 'em cry? |
| What gets 'em high?
|
| I think about the girls in my hometown
|
| Hmm, hmm-hmm |
