This Town

Me and all my friends down by the river, fourteen running through the streets
 Living on a prayer in a teenage wasteland, trying not to bust at the seams
 We were young, so low tryn'a get high
 Praying up above that our dreams never die
 Putting that Jeep into four-wheel drive
 Shining like stars in the sky
 We grew up in this town
 We screwed up in this town
 Had each other's backs when we got off track
 Man life moves fast
 In this town baby I can never get away
 I don't wanna leave but you know I can't stay
 There's something 'bout these hills and those country roads
 That makes me feel at home in this town
 We laughed, we cried, we stayed out all night
 We did everything wrong, but we turned out alright
 Baby it's bittersweet
 You can take me out of this town
 But you can't take this town out of me

 Well some of us move on, some get locked up
 And some don't make it out
 I think about those days when we'd just meet up at Adam's house and ride around
 We were so young, so lost, tryna get by
 Couldn't tell us nothing we had too much pride
 Spending our weekends working part time
 We were just tryna survive
 Cuz we were raised in this town
 Learned how to pray in this town
 Seen my friends die, seen mommas cry, still asking why
 In this town baby I can never get away
 I don't wanna leave but you know I can't stay
 There's something 'bout these hills and those country roads
 That makes me feel at home in this town
 We laughed, we cried, we stayed out all night
 We did everything wrong, but we turned out alright
 Baby it's bittersweet
 You can take me out of this town
 But you can't take this town out of me

 Cuz we grew up in this town
 We screwed up in this town
 I'll remember us the way it was
 It's always love
 In this town baby I can never get away
 I don't wanna leave but you know I can't stay
 There's something 'bout these hills and those country roads
 That makes me feel at home in this town
 We laughed, we cried, we stayed out all night

 You can take me out of this town
