Hometown

I've lived here all of my life This house has been my home as far back as I can remember We used to ride our bikes to the park up the road Each day was a brand new adventure I took the same bus to school each day for 13 years I know these streets, they know my name It's crystal clear Though my friends have all moved away My life is here, here to stay My hometown is my favourite town Why would I ever want to get out? I'm driving downtown and singing loud My hometown is my favourite town You see that road? That's where I broke my arm and got these scars And where I met the girl who'd one day be my wife And over there's where we bought our crappy first cars (What's power steering?) Those were the best days of the first years of my life My hometown is my favourite town Why would I ever want to get out? I'm driving downtown and singing loud My hometown is my favourite town My favourite town They say it takes a village to raise a child But a small town will raise a man In different places, with different faces I couldn't own these streets But here I can My hometown is my favourite town Why would I ever want to get out? I'm driving downtown and singing loud My hometown is my favourite town My hometown is my favourite town Why would I ever want to get out? I'm driving downtown and singing loud My hometown is my favourite town My favourite town My favourite town My favourite town
