lyrics

Country Town
The meadow that I ran on every summer afternoon
the hill I sledded down beneath an early winter moon
they’re the backdrop to almost any dream of mine
I still see it like it’s 1985
When you grow up in a country town, in a country town
no matter where you go or what you do
When you grow up in a country town then that country town
is always gonna be inside of you
The football team, the wrestling team, the boys on motorbikes
the kids in school and at the public pool, my buddies Thomas, Curt & Mike
they may resent me for leaving this ol‘ town behind
but they respect me, I know, for makin‘ it out alive
When you grow up in a country town, in a country town
everybody is gonna know your face
When you grow up in a country town, in a country town
you’re always gonna know an honest place
There were many girls I wooed who did not care for me
I got hurt and disappointed but I had my little victories
cause those adolescent years, they stick with you forever
this town has shaped me, I know, for worse or for better
And I am drawn
to where I’m from
my roots run deep
down by Golden Creek

My country town, my country town
there’s some folks who still recall my name
my country town, my country town
things may change but they’ll always feel the same
My country town
it’s gonna welcome me when I come back around
