Mike Ryan - New Hometown lyrics
[Mike Ryan - New Hometown lyrics]
Been thinkin' a lot about Boston
I like the band and the weather ain't hot
Then again there's Colorado
They got the mountains and the legalized pot
Somewhere out in Oklahoma
Yeah I could get lost out there
Palm Springs, or New Orleans
Hell I don't care
I gotta get a new hometown
One that doesn't bring me down
Somewhere where I won't see you
Every time I turn around
I used to think I'd never leave
But that was when you still loved me
But you broke my heart
And drug it around my stompin' ground
So now I need a new hometown
My great granddaddy Charlie
He moved here in '24
He made it through the Great Depression
And opened up a hardware store
My roots run down these streets
Four generations deep
But thanks to a blue eyed girl
Who moved here from Tennessee
I gotta get a new hometown
One that doesn't bring me down
Somewhere where I won't see you
Every time I turn around
I used to think I'd never leave
But that was when you still loved me
But you broke my heart
And drug it around my stompin' ground
So now I need a new hometown
Somewhere I've never been
Somewhere you'd never go
Somewhere I can turn you in
To a girl I used to know
(Now I need a new hometown)
I've gotta get a new hometown
One that doesn't bring me down
Somewhere where I won't see you
Every time I turn around
I used to think I'd never leave
But that was when you still loved me
But you broke my heart
And drug it around my stompin' ground
So now I need a new hometown
I gotta get a new hometown
I like the band and the weather ain't hot
Then again there's Colorado
They got the mountains and the legalized pot
Somewhere out in Oklahoma
Yeah I could get lost out there
Palm Springs, or New Orleans
Hell I don't care
I gotta get a new hometown
One that doesn't bring me down
Somewhere where I won't see you
Every time I turn around
I used to think I'd never leave
But that was when you still loved me
But you broke my heart
And drug it around my stompin' ground
So now I need a new hometown
My great granddaddy Charlie
He moved here in '24
He made it through the Great Depression
And opened up a hardware store
My roots run down these streets
Four generations deep
But thanks to a blue eyed girl
Who moved here from Tennessee
I gotta get a new hometown
One that doesn't bring me down
Somewhere where I won't see you
Every time I turn around
I used to think I'd never leave
But that was when you still loved me
But you broke my heart
And drug it around my stompin' ground
So now I need a new hometown
Somewhere I've never been
Somewhere you'd never go
Somewhere I can turn you in
To a girl I used to know
(Now I need a new hometown)
I've gotta get a new hometown
One that doesn't bring me down
Somewhere where I won't see you
Every time I turn around
I used to think I'd never leave
But that was when you still loved me
But you broke my heart
And drug it around my stompin' ground
So now I need a new hometown
I gotta get a new hometown
