[Verse 1]
Yeah, them backroads got a lotta dirt on me
Mama'd probably whoop my ass if they could speak
A road may flood in heavy rain warning
Walmart spray painted my name on it
Like the river cuts through it, my roots run deep

[Chorus]
Trucks break down and girls break up
And clocks run out, and times get tough
Good dogs die and friends move on
Yeah, the world’ll kick you 'round
And chew you up and spit you out
But hometowns don't

[Verse 2]
Well, my first old Ford pieced out for parts
Well, she summer heat, back seat, stole my heart
Graduation, good time, goodbye beers
Even when we’re gone, they'll still be here
You can leave and think the grass is greener
But believe me, you won't get far

[Chorus]
'Cause trucks break down and girls break up
And clocks run out, and times get tough
Good dogs die and friends move on
Yeah, the world'll kick you 'round
And chew you up and spit you out
But hometowns don't

[Bridge]
It don't matter how far or long you drive
There’s always gonna be that welcome sign

[Chorus]
’Cause trucks break down and girls break up
And clocks run out, and times get tough
Good dogs die and friends move on
Yeah, the world'll kick you ’round
And chew you up and spit you out
But hometowns don't

[Post-Chorus]
Hometowns don't

[Outro]
Yeah, them backroads got a lotta dirt on me
Mama'd probably whoop my ass if they could speak
