Our Hometown

Somewhere to be every night of the week
Seems God ain’t close like He used to be
More tequila in this old town than pines in Tennessee
And I ain’t the man I thought I’d be

These neon lights that keep me up
got me thinking

Maybe Mom and Dad had it right all along
We’re too old to still be alone
And we ain’t happy ever after all
I’m just sayin’ it wouldn’t be as bad as we made it out
Livin’ in our home towns

I miss the days
That flowed like the Mississippi
You find a girl
And get married before you’re 20
But I’ve been running like a southbound train
As fast as a northern summer
With no one to love
And it’s makin' me wonder

They said If you buy whiskey
Don’t over drink it
And if you find love
Don’t overthink it
Just find yourself a good one
And don’t you let her go
That’s what they told

Maybe Mom and Dad had it right all along
We’re too old to still be alone
And we ain’t happy ever after all
I’m just sayin’ it wouldn’t be as bad as we made it out
Staying in our home towns
Yeah in our hometown
