Charlie Robinson - My Hometown lyrics

Well, I had a buddy back in '81,

And we made ourselves a pact.

We were headin' for the new pipeline,

And we wern't never coming back.

We worked 80 hours makeing time and a half,

But La Grange was too damn hot.

So we drove back home here at the end of the 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 you're feelin' like slowin' down,

I'll see you around, 'round my hometown.

Well, I played ball every single fall,

I could run like the wind.

I went to college like they asked me too,

But they didn't ask my friends.

I don't remember a single classroom,

But I drank alot 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 you're feelin' like slowin' down,

I'll see you around, 'round 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 leavin' for the last time honey,

I'm never more to roam.

Gunna pack my bags a little heavy this time,

Gunna 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 feelin' like slowin' down.

I'll see you around, 'round my hometown.

I'll see you around, 'round my hometown.
