More Than My Hometown

Girl, our mamas are best friends and so are we
 The whole town's rooting for us like the home team
 Most likely to settle down
 Plant a few roots real deep and let 'em grow
 But we can't stop this real world from spinnin' us
 Your bright lights called, I don't blame you for pickin' up
 Your big dream bags are all packed up and ready to go
 But I just need you to know
 That I love you more than a California sunset
 More than a beer when you ain't twenty-one yet
 More than a Sunday morning Lord
 Turnin' some poor lost souls 'round, and Hallelujah bound
 Yeah, I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits the hook
 When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
 But, baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down
 'Cause I can't love you more than my hometown
 ♪
 I ain't the runaway kind, I can't change that
 My heart's stuck in these streets like the train tracks
 City sky ain't the same black
 Ain't that a map dot shame, man, to think that
 I love you more than a California sunset
 More than a beer when you ain't twenty-one yet
 More than a Sunday morning Lord
 Turnin' some poor lost souls around, and Hallelujah bound
 Yeah, I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits the hook
 When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
 But, baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down
 'Cause I can't love you more than my hometown
 Yeah, you got a wild in your eyes that I just wasn't born with
 I'm a same gas station cup of coffee in the mornin'
 I need a house on the hill, girl, not in 'em
 So hang onto these words 'til them avenues help you forget 'em
 'Cause I love you more than a California sunset
 I love you more in a twenty-dollar sundress
 Hate that loaded down car you got your keys in
 Girl, but I hate even more that you're leavin'
 'Cause I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits the hook
 When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
 But that ain't you and me so I guess I'll see you around
 'Cause I can't love you more than my hometown
 Love you more than my hometown
 Love you more than my hometown
 Love you more, baby, love you more
