Well I had a buddy back in 81
And we made ourselves a pact
We were headin for the new pipeline
And we were never coming backss
||
We worked 80 hours making time and a half -i
But La Grange was too damn hot
So we drove back home home at the end of that week
And we spent it all on pot
So I ll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way
I ll see you in Dallas but I won t have long to stay
If your ever out west son and your feeling like slowin down
I ll see you around round my hometown
Well I played ball every single fall
I could run just like the wind
I went to college like they asked me too
But they didn t ask my friends
Don t think I ve seen a single classroom
But I drank a lot of beer
My buddies still love to listen to me
When I talk about that year
So I ll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way
I ll see you in Dallas but I won t have long to stay
If your ever out west son and your feeling like slowin down
I ll see you around round my hometown
SOLO
Now I got myself a little band and we re pretty good I guess
But I never learned how to wear my hair
And I never learned how to dress
So I m leavin for the last time honey
I m never more to roam
Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time
Gonna head my ass back home
So I ll see you in Nashville if I ever get out that way
I ll see you in Austin but I won t have long to stay
If you re ever out west son and you re feelin like slowin down
I ll see you around round my hometown
I ll see you around round my hometown
