Welcome To

(album: The Way I Wanna Go - 2021)

Got a name you never heard
That probably ends in a -ville or a -berg
Or somebody's funny last name
That came here on a wagon train

Got a football field and some bleachers
Jersey of a guy who played for the Steelers
Back in '76
He came back and opened up that Chevy truck dealership
Come and see ol' Buck for a truck, he'll hook you up

In between the "welcome to" and the "y'all come back"
A nowhere somewhere on the map
We hit the job for the work
Hit the bar for the flirt
Hit the pew for the church
When we die, hit the dirt
That's the way it is and how it's gon' be
If I disappear, back here one day you'll find me
On my Adirondak 'tween the "welcome to" and the "y'all come back"

It's got a mainstreet strip mall karate
And a whole lotta them hometown hotties
Whose claim to fame is a painted over name on a water tank, yeah
I ain't admitting I did one
But if I did, that's the way we have fun

In between the "welcome to" and the "y'all come back"
A nowhere somewhere on the map
We hit the job for the work
Hit the bar for the flirt
Hit the pew for the church
When we die, hit the dirt
That's the way it is and how it's gon' be
If I disappear, back here one day you'll find me
On my Adirondak 'tween the "welcome to" and the "y'all come back"

Yeah, y'all come back

Yeah, some folks thinking we're backwards, kicking them cow turds
Can't pronounciate them hard to pronounce words
But they ain't never got their swerve on a country girl curve
If they did, they'd be out here drinking them a cold beer
With their name on their shirt

In between the "welcome to" and the "y'all come back"
A nowhere somewhere on the map
Hit the job for the work
Hit the bar for the flirt
Hit the pew for the church
When we die, hit the dirt
That's the way it is and how it's gon' be
If I disappear, back here here one day you'll find me
With a cold six pack 'tween the "welcome to" and the "y'all come back"

Yeah, y'all come back
You find me driving my cowboy Cadillac
'Tween the "welcome to" and the "y'all come back"
Y'all come back now, you hear?
