Barely 18 thought I knew it all
|
My little hometown was way too small
|
For the big dreams I'd been dreaming
|
I thought the fast lane and bright lights was what I was needin'
|
A few long years have come and gone
|
I finally saved enough to get back home
|
To the hills, the creeks, and timbers
|
Where's that slow paced laid back place I remember?
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Tell me where has my hometown gone?
|
Lord this looks nothing like the place that I come from
|
What happened to the down home road that I was raised up on
|
Tell me where has my hometown gone?
|
|
There's a mini mall where I used to hunt squirrels
|
Time's made momma's out of the girls
|
I used to chase when I was younger
|
They say old Mayor Baker is six feet under
|
Riverview Drive is up to four lanes
|
No whistle blows from that midnight train that used to haul out of Southfield Mines
|
Yeah that quiet little place is just a memory of mine
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I miss my fishin' hole, barber pole, front porch swing, drive in, skating rink, Dairy Queen
|
|
[Chorus]
|

Where Has My Hometown Gone?
