Hometown Lyrics - Singles - Kelley James

You know I miss my hometown where I grew up 

It's so hard to say "I don't live here no more" 

We were grade school kids stay til dark in skate parks, mall cops in golf carts trying to stop us like Paul Blart 

Tops was the currency, Upper Deck the stock 

With that summertime urgency, football on the block 

Repping like a fullback HOV that was our block 

Ice Cream truck ride slow every day at three oclock 

My best friends house man you know I never knocked 

See a volkswagon bug and you were bound to get socked 

I only had one pair of shoes mom washed and changed the laces 

And at some point it was cool to rock a retainer or braces 

Couple great teachers still remember their faces 

Break a window playing ball and it was off to the races 

Dunk hoops after school stick your tounge out like Jordan 

Mom can I get his shoes, son we cant afford em 

Got-music from a cassette-tape-radio recording 

A kiss in truth or dare and I swore that I was scoring 

I moved away, said I was through 

With a little town, and all of you 

But big city lights come with a big city price 

And I cant look back
