Lyrics

[Verse 1] New Year's at the Chanticleer And I just signed my record deal Someone's singing karaoke Just a townie playing make-believe [Pre-Chorus] There you were, spinning 'round in your cardboard crown You said, "Congrats, you made it out, but [Chorus] Don't forget about your town Don't forget where you came from 'Cause first you're up then you're down Come crashing back to Earth and there's no one around Don't forget about the pain Of being young and forgotten And when you're up on that stage, at the top of your game Don't forget who taught you to play Don't forget about me" [Verse 2] I was just another shy kid On the playground 'til you came around Had big ideas and bigger dreams That no one seemed to give a shit about [Pre-Chorus] There you were, you said, "If you've got a song, well, sing it loud" You told me someday I'd make it out, but [Chorus] Don't forget about your town Don't forget where you came from 'Cause first, you're up then you're down Come crashing back to Earth and there's no one around Don't forget about the pain Of being young and forgotten And when you're up on that stage, at the top of your game Don't forget who taught you to play Don't forget about me [Post-Chorus] Don't forget about me, oh [Bridge] Found a voicemail that you left me back in 2017 You said, "I'm sorry you don't call me more I guess you're just too busy for me" [Pre-Chorus] But they were playing your song in the CVS downtown And I just called to say, "I'm so proud" [Chorus] I won't forget about my town And I won't forget where I came from 'Cause I've been up, I've been down Came crashing back to Earth but you're not around [Outro: Todd Peterson] I'm sorry I don't hear from you more But I have to tell you I am loving this new song It is amazing I had to introduce it to my entire family And I just wanna say I'm so proud of you Keep going, brother
