I always hate this part
Every time I'm packin' up my car
Cause sayin' goodbye is so damn hard when you live so far away
But I've
Gotten pretty used to
Lookin' in the rearview at everything that raised me, it just makes me wanna stay
I wish that every time I leave
I could pack up my old street and all these stars would shine as bright
In the city
I wish that every memory
Could be in my shotgun seat, I could bottle up the place I love and take it with me
Cause when it's time to go, wish I could take my hometown
Home
I'd take that old street light
That had us glowin' on our favorite night
Back when my whole world was ten blocks wide
Now I swear that I'd give anything to bring home more than just a picture in my mind
I wish that every time I leave
I could pack my old street and all these stars would shine as bright in the city
I wish that every memory
Could be in my shotgun seat
I could bottle up the place I love and take it with me
Cause when it's time to go
Wish I could take my hometown home
I wish somebody told me that my days here would be numbered
Cause every time i come back now I just can't help but wonder why
I would ever want to leave
The place that made me me, but that's growing up even though you're never really ready
I wish that every memory
Could be in my shotgun seat
I'd bottle up the place I love and take it with me
Cause when it's time to go
Wish I could take my hometown home
Wish I could take my hometown home
