C
Damn I used to love this view, sit here and drink a few
F
Main street and the high school, up on Friday night

Down there there’s another touchdown, Man this year’s team is stout
F
I can hear em going crazy, and up here so am I
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am F
Thinkin about you sittin there sayin I hate this, I hate it
G Am F
If you couldn’t stand livin here why’d you take it, take it?
[Chorus]

Give me back my hometown
C G C
Cause this is my hometown
[Verse 2]
C
All the colors of my youth, the red the green the hope the truth
F
Are beating me black and blue cause your in every scene.
C
My friends try to cheer me up, we get together at the Pizza Hut
F
I didn’t have the heart to tell em that was our place
[Pre-Chorus]

These sleepy streetlights on every sidewalk, side street
G Am F
Shed a light on everything that used to be
[Chorus]

Give me back my hometown
C G C
Cause this is my hometown
[Bridge]
Am
You can have my grandma’s locket, the knife outta my grandpa’s pocket

My state champion jacket, I don’t care you can have it

Every vague memory. every picture every broken dream
F
Yeah everything, everything, everything
[Chorus]
C G Am F C
Give me back my hometown
C G C
Cause this is my hometown
