half of my hometown (ballerini album version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Half of my high school got too drunk Half of my high school fell in love with the girl next door In their daddy's Ford Half of my main street's mini skirts Half of my main street's dressed for church It could use some rain and a fresh coat of paint [Chorus] Half of my hometown's still hangin' around Still talkin' about that one touchdown They're still wearin' red and black "Go Bobcats" while the other half Of my hometown, they all got out Some went north, some went south Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found So stay or leave, part of me will always be Half of my hometown [Verse 2] Half of our prom queens cut their hair Half of them think that it ain't fair The quarterback moved away and never came back Oh, half of my family is happy I left But my daddy knows that I won't forget Where I came from The same place where they came from [Chorus] Half of my hometown's still hangin' around Still talkin' about that one touchdown They're still wearin' red and black "Go Bobcats" while the other half Of my hometown, they all got out Some went north, some went south Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found So stay or leave, part of me will always be Half of my hometown (Ah, ah) [Post-Chorus] Half of my hometown (Ah, mmm, ah) [Bridge] Backroads raise us Highways, take us Memories make us wanna go back [Chorus] To our hometown, settle down Talk about that one touchdown Raise some kids in red and black "Go Bobcats" while the other half Of my hometown was in the crowd They knew the words, they sang them loud And all I wanna do is make them proud 'Cause half of me will always be Knoxville, Tennessee My hometown [Outro] 'Cause I'm half of my hometown
