New Hometown - Mike Ryan

Been thinkin' a lot about Boston

I like the band and the weather ain’t hot

Then again there’s Colorado

They got the mountains and the legalized pot

Somewhere out in Oklahoma

Yeah I could get lost out there

Palm Springs, or New Orleans

Hell I don’t care

I gotta get a new hometown

One that doesn’t bring me down

Somewhere where I won’t see you

Every time I turn around

I used to think I’d never leave

But that was when you still loved me

But you broke my heart

And drug it around my stompin' ground

So now I need a new hometown

My great granddaddy Charlie

He moved here in '24

He made it through the Great Depression

And opened up a hardware store

My roots run down these streets

Four generations deep

But thanks to a blue eyed girl

Who moved here from Tennessee

I gotta get a new hometown

One that doesn’t bring me down

Somewhere where I won’t see you

Every time I turn around

I used to think I’d never leave

But that was when you still loved me

But you broke my heart

And drug it around my stompin' ground

So now I need a new hometown

Somewhere I’ve never been

Somewhere you’d never go

Somewhere I can turn you in

To a girl I used to know

(Now I need a new hometown)

I’ve gotta get a new hometown

One that doesn’t bring me down

Somewhere where I won’t see you

Every time I turn around

I used to think I’d never leave

But that was when you still loved me

But you broke my heart

And drug it around my stompin' ground

So now I need a new hometown

I gotta get a new hometown
