(Verse 1)
(G)Half of my high school got too drunk
Half of my high school fell in love
With the (C)girl next door in their daddy's Ford
(G)Half of my main street’s mini skirts
Half of my main street's dressed for church
It could (C)use some rain and a fresh coat of paint
(Chorus)
Half of my home-(G)town’s still hangin’ around
Still talkin' a-(D)bout that one touchdown
They're still (Em)wearin' red and black
"Go Bob-(C)cats” while the other half
Of my home-(G)town, they all got out
Some went (D)north, some went south
Still (Em)lookin’ for a feelin’ half of us ain’t (C)found
So stay or leave, (Am) part of me (G/B) will always (C) be
Half of my home-(G)town / / / |(G) / / / |
(Verse 2)
(G)Half of our prom queens cut their hair
Half of them think that it ain’t fair
The (C)quarterback moved away and never came back
Oh, (G)half of my family is happy I left
The other half worries I’ll just forget
Where (C)I came from the same place where they came from
(Chorus)
Half of my home-(G)town’s still hangin’ around
Still talkin' a-(D)bout that one touchdown
They're still (Em)wearin' red and black
"Go Bob-(C)cats” while the other half
Of my home-(G)town, they all got out
Some went (D)north, some went south
Still (Em)lookin’ for a (D)feelin’ half of us ain’t (C)found
So stay or leave, (Am) part of me (G/B) will always (C) be
Half of my home-(G)town / / / |(D) / / /
(Post-Chorus)
Half of my home-(Em)town / / / |(C) / / / |
(Bridge)
(Em)Back roads (D)raise us, (C)highways, they (G)take us
(Am)Memories (G/B)make us want to go (C)back
(Chorus)
To our home-(G)town, settle down
Talk a-(D)bout that one touchdown
Raise some kids (Em) in red and black
"Go Bob-(C)cats” while the other half
Of my home-(G)town was in the crowd
They knew the (D)words, they sang them loud
And (Em)all I wanna do (D) is make them (C) proud
'Cause half of me (Am) will always be (G/B)
(C)Knoxville, Tennessee, my hometown, oh (G)
(Outro)
(G) My home-(C)town, my homrtown (D) (G) - - - - -
