[00:08.46]Yesterday I got a call
[00:10.83]Someone I didn't know at all had passed away
[00:18.14]Mama said, yeah you know him
[00:20.30]You went to school with both his kids
[00:23.50]They lived out on Prescott lane
[00:28.67]She said you should've seen the line
[00:33.08]Mrs. Johnson said to tell you hi
[00:36.30]
[00:36.80]Thank God for hometowns
[00:40.59]And all the love that makes you go round
[00:45.40]Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
[00:50.19]When you were dying to get out
[00:55.29]Thank God for church pews
[00:59.76]And all the faces that won't forget you
[01:05.48]Cause when you're lost out in this crazy world
[01:08.88]You got somewhere to go and get found
[01:14.45]Thank God for hometowns
[01:19.87]Yeah
[01:22.40]
[01:24.94]Last June my cousin tied the knot
[01:27.53]Didn't know if I would go or not
[01:31.01]But I'm sure glad I did
[01:34.63]It was a pretty good haul but worth the drive
[01:37.44]I could feel myself come back to life
[01:40.91]The closer that I'd get
[01:45.00]First red light I rolled the windows down
[01:49.82]Breathed it in and took a look around
[01:52.99]
[01:53.55]Thank God for hometowns
[01:57.36]First kisses and touchdowns
[02:02.32]Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
[02:06.95]When you were dying to get out
[02:15.22]Thank God for church pews
[02:19.54]And all the faces that won't forget you
[02:25.24]And when you're lost out in this crazy world
[02:28.69]You got somewhere to go and get found
[02:34.16]Thank God for hometowns
[02:39.10]
[02:45.07]I always find another piece of me
[02:50.32]Walking down these old familiar streets
[02:54.13]
[02:55.63]Thank God for hometowns
[03:00.37]And all the love that makes them go round
[03:05.26]Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
[03:10.07]When you were dying to get out
[03:14.95]Thank God for church pews
[03:19.56]And all the faces that won't forget you
[03:25.35]And when you're lost out in this crazy world
[03:28.77]You got somewhere to go and get found
[03:34.42]Thank God for hometowns
[03:43.51]Thank God for hometowns
[03:50.37]
