Lyrics:
Barely 18 thought I knew it allMy little hometown was way too smallFor the big dreams I'd been dreamingI thought the fast lane and bright lights was what I was needin'A few long years have come and goneI finally saved enough to get back homeTo the hills, the creeks, and timbersWhere's that slow paced laid back place I remember?Chorus:Tell me where has my hometown gone?Lord this looks nothing like the place that I come fromWhat happened to the down home road that I was raised up onTell me where has my hometown gone?There's a mini mall where I used to hunt squirrelsTime's made momma's out of the girlsI used to chase when I was youngerThey say old Mayor Baker is six feet underRiverview Drive is up to four lanesNo whistle blows from that midnight train that used to haul out of Southfield MinesYeah that quiet little place is just a memory of mine(chorus)I miss my fishin' hole, barber pole, front porch swing, drive in, skating rink, Dairy Queen(chorus)
