Hometown - Kenny Foster
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
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 home town
It's just like your home town
We've got sisters
We've got brothers
Memories of one another we hold dear
Here in my home town
The one like your home town
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 home town
I know each girl dreams
Of being princess
To wear that dress and
Walk daddy down the aile
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 home town 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 home town
It's just like your home town
We've got fathers
We've got mothers
Memories of one another
We hold dear
Here in my home town
The one like your home town
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 stop
In my home town
Just like your home town
We ain't got a lot of things
But we've got memories
That we hold dear
Here in my home town
It's just like your home town
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
In my home town
Here in my home town
Here in my
Home town
