half of my hometown

Half of my high school got too drunk Half of my high school fell in love With the girl next door In their daddy's Ford Half of my main street's mini skirts Half of my main street's dressed for church It could use some rain And a fresh coat of paint Half of my hometown's still hangin' around Still talkin' about that one touchdown They're still wearin' red and black "Go Bobcats" while the other half Of my hometown, they all got out Some went north, some went south Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found So stay or leave, part of me will always be Half of my hometown Half of our prom queens cut their hair Half of them think that it ain't fair The quarterback moved away and never came back Half of my family is happy I left The other half worries I'll just forget Where I came from Same place where they came from Half of my hometown's still hangin' around Still talkin' about that one touchdown They're still wearin' red and black "Go Bobcats" while the other half Of my hometown, they all got out Some went north, some went south Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found So stay or leave, part of me will always be Half of my hometown, mm Half of my hometown (oh) Back roads raise us Highways, they take us Memories make us wanna go back To our hometown, settle down Talk about that one touchdown Raise some kids in red and black "Go Bobcats" while the other half Of my hometown was in the crowd They knew the words, they sang them loud And all I wanna do is make them proud 'Cause half of me will always be Knoxville, Tennessee My hometown My hometown My hometown
