Lyrics

MY HOMETOWN


THE PEOPLE ?ROUND HERE?WHEN THEY HEAR A NEW SONG?LOOK AROUND TO SEE WHO?S SINGING ALONG

CAN?T DECIDE THEMSELVES?CUZ THEY MIGHT BE WRONG? WELCOME TO MY HOMETOWN

I WANNA HEAR A NEW SONG?SO I CALL THE DJ

HE EXPLAINS TO ME? HOW IT WORKS TODAY

YOU HAFTA REQUEST? WHAT HE?D PLAY ANYWAY?WELCOME TO MY HOMETOWN

(CHORUS)

THE TOP 40 LIST?BE IT COUNTRY OR POP?NOTHING SLIPS BY THE CONFORMITY COP

NO LOCAL STUFF ON THE WAY TO THE TOP.

WELCOME TO MY HOMETOWN.


THERE?S A LOT OF NEW BANDS?WITH SONGS GALORE

A LOT OF STUFF?I NEVER HEARD BEFORE?

THEY?LL NEVER GET THEIR FOOT THROUGH THE DOOR?WELCOME TO MY HOMETOWN.


SO IF YOU WRITE A NEW SONG?THAT REALLY ROCKS

THERE?S NOT A LOT OF ROOM ON THE OLD JUKEBOX

THE ROAD IS FILLED WITH BIG ROAD BLOCKS?WELCOME TO MY HOMETOWN.

(CHORUS)

IF YOU?RE LOOKING AROUND?TO SEE WHO?S SINGING ALONG

REMEMBER THERE?S NO RIGHT OR WRONG

THE RADIO MIGHT EVEN PLAY THIS SONG

BUT NOT IN MY HOMETOWN.

(CHORUS)
(LINE 3 OF LAST CHORUS)

?I?D BE MUCH BETTER OFF?IF I?D JUST STOP!
