Sarahbeth Taite Hometown Girl
[Verse 1]
There's a two-by-two on the third page
Of a class of twenty-something teenage dreamers
Couldn't wait to be twenty-one
Couldn't stay for another summer
Most likely to be the one to pack up everything she owns and run
Looking back, she had a lot to lose
I wish that I could tell her
[Chorus]
You'll always be a hometown girl
Picture on the wall of your high school hallway
Fly away, little small town bird
But careful what you wish 'cause you'll miss it someday
Wherever you go, whatever you do
There's a piece of this placе in every part of you
You can chase down a thousand suns
But you only gеt one hometown, girl
[Verse 2]
They say you can't go back again
Except for holidays and a few long weekends
Show your face at a Friday game
Pour a smile on an old flame
Makes you wonder, "What if you'd stayed?"
[Chorus]
You'll always be a hometown girl
Picture on the wall of your high school hallway
Fly away, little small town bird
But careful what you wish 'cause you'll miss it someday
Wherever you go, whatever you do
There's a piece of this place in every part of you
You can chase down a thousand suns
But you only get one hometown, girl
[Bridge]
There's a two-by-two on the third page
Of a class of twenty-something teenage dreamers
Couldn't wait to be twenty-one
Couldn't stay for another summer
[Chorus]
You'll always be a hometown girl
Picture on the wall of your high school hallway
Fly away, little small town bird
But careful what you wish 'cause you'll miss it someday
Wherever you go, whatever you do
There's a piece of this place in every part of you
You can chase down a thousand suns
But you only get one hometown, girl
[Outro]
You only get one hometown, girl
Hometown, girl
