I grew up on mama's fried chicken, country fried in a little white kitchen
It's the place where I was born and raised
Starry nights and the crickets are loud got an old guitar and I'm gonna sing out
A song about growing up where everybody's a friendly face
So when we're on the road, and it's a long way back home
Small town memories are running through our minds
We may be a thousand miles away, but that don't change a thing
I just can't wait to see that worn out, hometown sign
When you pass somebody you better wave hello in a small town life it's the rule of the road
We never lock the doors cause everybody's friends anyway
We go out and dance at Luckenbach late night two stepping until we drop
It's no wonder that I fell in love with this place
So when we're on the road, and it's a long way back home
Small town memories are running through our minds
We may be a thousand miles away, but that don't change a thing
I just can't wait to see that worn out, hometown sign
Cause that's where the hot sun rises, the old rooster crows
We went to church on Sunday mornings and sang along to all the hymns we know
And when I'm traveling through this world and there's darkness all around
I'm gonna think back to the sunny skies in that little hill country town
So when we're on the road, and it's a long way back home
Small town memories are running through our minds
We may be a thousand miles away, but that don't change a thing
I just can't wait to see that worn out, hometown sign
We may be a thousand miles away, but that don't change a thing
I just can't wait to see that worn out, I just can't wait to see that worn out
Yeah I can't wait to see that worn out hometown sign
