Yesterday I
got a call
Someone I
didn’t know at all had passed away
Mama said,
“Yeah you know him
You went to
school with both his kids
They lived
out on Prescott lane”
She said,
“You should’ve seen the line
Mrs. Johnson
said to tell you ‘Hi’”
[Chorus:]
Thank God
for hometowns
And all the
love that makes you go round
Thank God
for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you
were dying to get out
Thank God
for Church pews
And all the
faces that won’t forget you
Cause when
you’re lost out in this crazy world
You got
somewhere to go and get found
Thank God
for hometowns
Yeah
Last June my
cousin tied the knot,
Didn’t know
if I’d go or not
But I’m sure
glad I did
It was a
pretty good haul but worth the drive
I could feel
myself come back to life
The closer
that I’d get
First red
light I rolled the windows down
Breathed it
in and took a look around
[Chorus:]
Thank God
for hometowns
First kisses
and touchdowns
Thank God
for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you
were dying to get out
Thank God
for Church pews
And all the
faces that won’t forget you
And when
you’re lost out in this crazy world
You got
somewhere to go and get found
Thank God
for hometowns
[Bridge:]
I always
find another piece of me
Walking down
these old familiar streets
[Chorus:]
Thank God
for hometowns
And all the
love that makes them go round
Thank God
for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you
were dying to get out
Thank God
for Church pews
And all the
faces that won’t forget you
And when
you’re lost out in this crazy world
You got
somewhere to go and get found
Thank God
for hometowns
Thank God
for hometowns
