Thank God For Hometowns

Yesterday I gotta call, someone I didn't know at all
Had passed away
Mama said, "yeah, you know him, you went to school with both his kids...
they lived out on Prescott Lane"
She said, "you shoulda seen the line, Mrs. Johnson said to tell you hi"
Thank God for hometowns
And all the love that makes them go around
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dying to get out
Thank God for church pews
And all the faces that won't forget you
Cause when you're lost out in the crazy world
You've got somewhere to go to get found
Thank God for hometowns, yeah
Last June my cousin tied the knot
Didn't know if I'd go or not
But, I'm sure glad I did
It was a pretty good haul, but worth the drive
I could feel myself come back to life
The closer that I get
First red light I rolled the windows down
Breathe it in and took a look around
Thank God for hometowns
First kisses and touchdowns
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dying to get out
Thank God for church pews
And all the faces that won't forget you
Cause when you're lost out in the crazy world
You've got somewhere to go to get found
Thank God for hometowns
I always find a piece of me
Walking down these old familiar streets
Thank God for hometowns
And all the love that makes them go around
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dying to get out
Thank God for church pews
And all the faces that won't forget you
When you're lost out in the crazy world
You've got somewhere to go to get found
Thank God for hometowns, yeah
Thank God for hometowns
