Charlie Robison - My HometownLyrics

Well, I had a buddy back in '81, And we made ourselves a pact. We were headin' for the new pipeline, We were never comin' 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. [Chorus] 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 you're 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. [Chorus] 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 you're feeling like slowin down. I'll see you around, Around my hometown. I'll see you around, Around my hometown.
