Charlie Robison - My Hometown

Well I had a buddy back in '81 and we/ made ourselves a pact/ we were headin'
for the new pipeline/ wewere never comin' back/ We worked 80 hours makin' 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
Chorus:
So I'll see you in Houson 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 just like the wind/ I went to
college like they asked me to, but/ they didn't ask my friends/ I 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 leavin'
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
feelin' like slowin' down/ I'll see you around, 'round my hometown
