My Hometown

G                          C
Well I had a buddy back in 81
       G
And we made ourselves a pact
G                      C
We were headin for the new pipeline
         D
And we were never coming back
   G                      C
We worked 80 hours making time and a
 half
       G
But La Grange was too damn hot
G                                 
So we drove back home home at the 
C
end of that week
    D                  G
And we spent it all on pot
G                               C
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever
 get out that way
                G            D
I'll see you in Dallas but I won't 
have long to stay
                 G                 
If your ever out west son and your 
C
feeling like  slowin' down
              G           D
I'll see you around round my 
      G       C   G   D   G
hometown
G                        C
Well I played ball every single fall
        G
I could run just like the wind

G                      C
I went to college like they asked me
 to
    D
But they didn't ask my friends
G                       C
Don't think I've seen a single 
classroom
    G
But I drank a lot of beer
G                        C
My buddies still love to listen to 
me
       D               G
When I talk about that year
G                               C
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever
 get out that way
                G            D
I'll see you in Dallas but I won't 
have long to stay
                 G                 
If your ever out west son and your 
C
feeling like  slowin' down
              G           D
I'll see you around round my 
      G

G                  C              
Now I got myself a little band and 
 G
we're pretty good I guess
G                          C
But I never learned how to wear my 
hair
      D
And I never learned how to dress
G                      C
So I'm leavin' for the last time 
honey
G
I'm never more to roam
G                           C
Gonna pack my bags a little heavy 
this time
      D                G
Gonna head my ass back home
G                                 
So I'll see you in Nashville if I 
C
ever get out that way
                G            D
I'll see you in Austin but I won't 
have long to stay
                   G           
If you're ever out west son and 
        C
you're feelin' like slowin' down
              G           D
I'll see you around round my 
      G    C
hometown
              G           D
I'll see you around round my
