Lights Of My Hometown

(album: Just As I Am - 2014)

You know the lights of my hometown
They come alive when the sun goes down

'We got the 50-yard line on a Friday night
Mainstreet drag lined up with red taillights
And the dashboard glow from the radio
Kick ya console back, pull your girl real close
Got the summer stars out in the backwoods
Got the windows down make it feel so good
To lock ya high beams in on a mud hole
If you're where I'm from, then ya damn sure know

'Bout the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
Talking 'bout the lights of my hometown
Yeah they come alive when the sun goes down

Oh yeah, we hold our lighters up if it's a good song
Little Lynyrd Skynyrd gotcha singing along
We pour some gasoline on a pile of wood
Just a little too much will make it burn real good
We got the moonshine, I'm talking both kinds
Have ya seeing double staring at them tan lines
Yeah, we throwing down 'til the cops come
See the blue lights flash, boys it's time to run

You know the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
Talking 'bout the lights of my hometown
Yeah, they come alive when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down, when the sun goes down

Light a flashlight on a tombstone
Let ya best friend know that he ain't alone
Go and pop a top, pour a little out
Just to let him know we're still thinking about him

Man the lights of our hometown
He almost comes alive when the sun goes down
I'm talking 'bout the lights of our hometown
He almost comes alive when the sun goes down

Talking 'bout the lights of my hometown
Yeah they come alive when the sun goes down
Talking 'bout the lights of my hometown
Yeah they come alive, yeah they come alive
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
Oh yeah when the sun goes down

Yeah we got the 50-yard line on a Friday night
And Main Street drag lined up with red taillights
Hell yeah we hold our lighters up
We hold our lighters up
Yeah we hold our lighters up when the sun goes down
Let me see them lighters

Talking 'bout the lights of my hometown
They come alive when, yeah they come alive
When the sun goes down
