9 months ago
257

We are all proud of our hometowns and where we came from. We also feel like when we are on tour and play in different cities, the love we receive makes it feel like another hometown for us. You are all our big extended family and so in honor of all of you we decided to make a video that features life on the road and some of the folks we meet along the way. No better way in our opinion to feature this song and video for the launch of a record we are very proud of.

LYRICS:
You can’t take my hometown
The way of life, it never slows down
whip-poor-will singing the song of the south
And the moonlight lost in the glow of a backwoods bonfire
Now it might not look like much, but this old place is still home to us
And my daddy’s roots are still in this ground
So you can change the world, but I’m gonna tell you now
You can’t take my hometown
Yeah

Uh, yeah
Jones County born and raised, I was K through 12
My friends and teachers all loved me but at home I was hell
Me and my brothers know we did it, staying up to 12
But we was just trying to live and entertain ourselves
Where does the time go hiding cause I ain’t found it yet
As I’m passing Handy Andy where mom and daddy met
Every which way I turn I’m seeing special memories
All of the places and people and what they meant to me
See I was planted with a purpose is what I believe
So no matter the wins and losses I could never leave
I wish as a little kid I knew what I know now
That there’s no place on earth that’s better than my home town

You can’t take my hometown
The way of life, it never slows down
whip-poor-will singing the song of the south
And the moonlight lost in the glow of a backwoods bonfire
Now it might not look like much, but this old place is still home to us
And my daddy’s roots are still in this ground
So you can change the world, but I’m gonna tell you now
You can’t take my hometown
Yeah

63 Scout with the rooftop missing
Pull up to Pachecho with my 15’s kicking
Smoking dirt weed, we were rolling dirt roads
We were all dirt broke shooting bb’s at the crows
Town and country groceries, I miss my mom and pops
Got my first fade back at Gladys’ barber shop
Broken bottles by the stop sign, they painted all the walls
There might be cracks on the sidewalk but our flag stands tall
Blacktop and burnouts, and Steven in my Chevy
Leaving rubber on 11th, Bud Lights in his Yeti (whoa)
This whole town, is my home town
And if you try to take it, we’ll be throwing down
Cause of Shane on the Deere, man, he’s been running overtime
We’ve been drinking clear that was made from his clementine
Eating lamb stew, at Wooley’s with the crew
Reminiscing about a town that we knew before it grew

You can’t take my hometown
The way of life, it never slows down
whip-poor-will singing the song of the south
And the moonlight lost in the glow of a backwoods bonfire
Now it might not look like much, but this old place is still home to us
And my daddy’s roots are still in this ground
So you can change the world, but I’m gonna tell you now
You can’t take my hometown
Yeah

Our church bells will sing a tune out every single day
And ol’ Ty is about to lift them wheels out, got another field to spray
And those farmers like to stay out at the donut shop and love to talk about their hay
And we all stand so damn tall when the stars and stripes are raised
And come Friday night under the lights down at Loftin Stadium
We’re on our feet, you know we cant be beat, and when we watch them Tigers run
We watch them run

You can’t take my hometown
The way of life, it never slows down
whip-poor-will singing the song of the south
And the moonlight lost in the glow of a backwoods bonfire
Now it might not look like much, but this old place is still home to us
And my daddy’s roots are still in this ground
So you can change the world, but I’m gonna tell you now
You can’t take my hometown
Oh and my hometown, it’s home to me
I’ll be here for eternity
It’s my hometown, the wild and free
The one thing you can’t take away from me
You can’t take my hometown
Yeah
