Hometown

How is the weather
How are the cars
I drove up the miles when high school got hard

I never got tired
Of driving at night
But you lost sleep every time

I heard you caught something
Dad said it was bad
I should have called and I'm sorry for that

But I said a prayer
Like you taught me to do
I lost my faith but I'm not losing you

I've got a home now
And a hometown
And those places aren't the same

My parents get old now
They should slow down
They said when I left that nothing would change

My brother just sent me a picture with a ring on the finger
Of a girl that I barely could name

I'm detached from it now
Was it right moving south

I just paid rent
And it didn't feel good
But I got enough money to get me some food

The grass grew a foot
And my neighbors are pissed
But who's gonna notice one more inch

I met someone good
I think mom would approve
I'm hoping you meet her if things stay smooth

I took your advice
And the pressure is off
Know that I'm well and say I love you to mom

I've got a home now
And a hometown
And those places aren't the same

My parents get old now
They should slow down
They said when I left that nothing would change

My brother just sent me a picture with a ring on the finger
of a girl that I barely could name

I'm detached from it now
Was it right moving south

But I've got a home now
And a hometown
And those places aren't the same

My parents get old now
And they'll slow down one day

Is the FaceTime enough for when my brother has a son
I guess we'll figure that out one day

I'm detached from it now
Down here in the south
