From the recording Tennessee Roots
Lyrics
Been stuck in this city for a little too long
Would've left sooner but you keep me holding on
I know you love the palm trees and the sun beatin' down
But Hollywood ain't everything I thought it would be
The city ain't as pretty as you see on TV
These ain't my people
And it don't seem like they want me around
This is somebody else's town
'Cause it don't feel like home
And it don't feed my soul
And it don't have my blood, sweat and tears
Soaked down in that ground
All my memories
And who I grew to be
They're all tied to that county line where I'm headed now
Not somebody else's town
Babe, you know I love you but I really gotta go
It's warm in California but the city's so cold
If you're coming with me pack a bag
'Cause I'm leavin' right now
Tried to grow somethin' but it didn't wanna work
Maybe wrong climate or the wrong patch of dirt
If you wanna stay, well that's ok
But I ain't puttin' roots down
In somebody else's town
'Cause it don't feel like home
And it don't feed my soul
And it don't have my blood, sweat and tears
Soaked down in that ground
All my memories
And who I grew to be
They're all tied to that county line where I'm headed now
Not somebody else's town
I'm going home
You can come along back to where I'm from
Let me show you around
My hometown
'Cause it just might feel like home
And it might feed your soul
When you hear Momma sing
"Amazing grace how sweet the sound"
We could start a family
And make some memories
What if this is the place we both wanna settle down
Not somebody else's town
What if this is the place we both wanna settle down
Not somebody else's town
Oh somebody else's town
Somebody else's town
