Hometown Songtext
von asiris

Oh-oh, oh-oh

We never had snow like this in Texas
Neighbors say that it′s too cold
The winter's always been the only time
That everyone I love stays home

And, oh, I know this won′t last forever
We're not frozen like the ice
And, oh, and, so I thank god for the weather
'Cause it′s keeping us inside

One day your voice will be a memory
Suddenly, your seat at the table will be empty
Your tire tracks in the road
Will be covered up in snow (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Family′s gathered in your kitchen
Over time, the sink gets piled up with dishes
When you go, I can hold down
The winter in our hometown


Know I should've made more time, I′m trying for this year
On your birthday, forgot to call (oh-oh, oh-oh)
You told me in the morning you won't always be here
Don′t like thinking 'bout it all (oh-oh, oh-oh)

And, oh, I know this won′t last forever
We're not frozen like the ice (oh-oh, oh-oh)
And, oh, and, so, I thank god for the weather
'Cause it′s keeping us inside (oh-oh, oh-oh)

One day your voice will be a memory
Suddenly, your seat at the table will be empty
Your tire tracks in the road
Will be covered up in snow (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Family′s gathered in your kitchen
Over time, the sink gets piled up with dishes
When you go, I can hold down (oh-oh, oh-oh)
The winter in our hometown (oh-oh, oh-oh)

And I know I'm always running my mouth
But I understand we′re being serious now
When you have to go, I'll make the family proud
I′ll keep the fire from dying out (oh-oh, oh-oh)


And I'm glad I was raised in the south
It taught me to keep my two feet on the ground
I′ll steady the ship, this is my earthly bow (oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'll keep the fire from dying out (oh-oh, oh-oh)

One day your voice will be a memory
Suddenly, your seat at the table will be empty
When you go, I can hold down (hold down)
The winter in our hometown
