Town Like Mine

(album: Demun - 2019)

When you live in a town like mine, you rack up the miles on a hand me down hemi
When you live in a town like mine, your favorite kind of lights at the Friday night fifty
When you live in a place, like a place I was raised you was raised on Amen and homemade wine
When you live in a town like mine, when you live in a town like mine

Halfway in between the sunshine and the shade is grey
It's kind of funny back in the day how we'd laugh and say that we couldn't wait to graduate
Pack up our bags and get away and find another home to stay
Ain't it magic how the times have changed
I've traveled in and out of every single state
And I have yet to find that place where they all know and love my face
And naw, I'm not saying that I hated everything I saw
But I couldn't wait to get back home so me and Nate could write this song
(About a town like mine)

When you live in a town like mine, you rack up the miles on a hand me down hemi
When you live in a town like mine, your favorite kind of lights at the Friday night fifty
When you live in a place, like a place I was raised you was raised on Amen and homemade wine
When you live in a town like mine, when you live in a town like mine

So I choose to stay and bloom where I was planted
And give back to those that's given me everything I ever asked em'
Amen, Yes ma'am I'm not that troublemaker no more
I'm just living to love and give and I'm not keeping no score
Because I've been paid in advance for any good deed I do
Like raising money for my school, not cause someone asked me too
Yeah, I'm a greyhound for life, Jones County to be exact
And that's why I don't need congrats and pats on the back

When you live in a town like mine, you rack up the miles on a hand me down hemi
When you live in a town like mine, your favorite kind of lights at the Friday night fifty
When you live in a place, like a place I was raised, you was raised on Amen and homemade wine
When you live in a town like mine, when you live in a town like mine

One of them ride around dust cloud towns, you know what I'm talking about

When you live in a town like mine, you rack up the miles on a hand me down hemi
When you live in a town like mine, your favorite kind of lights at the Friday night fifty
When you live in a place, like a place I was raised you was raised on Amen and homemade wine
When you live in a town like mine, when you live in a town like mine
