I had a dusty box of trophies in the attic Till that attic took a trip to "kingdom come" I guess that storm had sent it flying back to high school And in the rubble said they'd only found the one. Mom said she never had the room to keep 'em Said they always took up way too dang much space But when I saw her safe and sound, dad and sister by her side I'd have given her a trophy for that face. I can think of better things to put my hometown on the map Than to have it blown clear off it Sunday night But if I know her like I know I do, She ain't goin' down without a fight. Cause here in my hometown It's just like your hometown We've got sisters, we've got brothers, Memories of one another we hold dear Here in my hometown The one like your hometown Sure there might be a little less of it We might have a bigger mess of it But all we really need is all still here Here in our hometown I know each girl dreams of being princess To wear that dress and walk daddy down the aisle Instead they searched through what was left of their old kitchen And pulled that veil from underneath the pile Three stories made a heap upon their shoulders Must have felt like this whole world came crashing in But they took it step by step, found a Laundromat and then Made that dress all sparkling white again I can think of better things to put my hometown on the map Than to have it blown clear off it Sunday night But if I know folks like I know folks in my town They're gonna be alright Cause here in my hometown It's just like your hometown We've got fathers, we've got mothers, Memories of one another we hold dear Here in my hometown The one like your hometown Sure there might be a little less of it We might have a bigger mess of it But all we really need is all still here Mother Nature ain't around to answer questions But what she tore down, we're building right back up When you've got everything to gain, Well then what's a little rain Gonna do to folks that don't know when to stop, Here in my hometown It's just like your hometown We ain't got a lot of things, But we've got memories that we hold dear Here in my hometown It's just like your hometown Sure there might be a bigger mess of it We might have a little less of it But all we really need is all still here Yeah here in my hometown, In our home town, |
