My Hometown Lyrics - Singles - Charlie Robison

Well, I had a buddy back in '81 and we made ourselves a pact 

We were heading for the new pipeline we were never coming back 

Well we worked 80 hours making time and a half 

But La Grange was too damn hot 

We drove back home at the end of that week and we spent it all on pot 

So I'll see you in Houston If I ever get out that way 

I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay 

If you're ever out west son and your feeling like slowing down 

I'll see you around, around my hometown 

Well, I played ball every single fall I could run just like the wind 

Went to college like they asked me too but they didn't ask my friends 

Don't think I seen a single classroom but I drank a lot of beer 

My buddies still love to listen to me when I talk about that year 

So I'll see you in Houston If I ever get out that way 

I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay 

If you're ever out west son and your feeling like slowing down 

I'll see you around, around my hometown 

Now I got myself a little band and we're pretty good I guess 

But I never learned how to wear my hair and I never learned how to dress 

So I'm leaving for the last time honey I'm never more to roam 

Gonna pack my bags a little heavy 

This time gonna head my ass back home 

So I'll see you in Nashville if I ever get out that way 

I'll see you in Austin but I won't have long to stay 

If you're ever out west son and your feeling like slowing down 

I'll see you around, around my hometown 

I'll see you around, around my hometown
