It ain't the city lights begging my heart to leave
This ain't a guitar in the backseat chasing dreams kind of thing
I still love the same old same, everybody knows your name
Football game Friday night
But I can't drive down all those back roads slow after midnight
Can't go to the bar just to be left alone
Can't go to the church to pray

Can't go to the church on Sunday morning
Cause all I see is wildfire and brimstone
Might as well board it all up
Might as well shut it all down
God knows it ain't what it was
You made a hell out of a hometown
Who knew the devil drove a black Ford
For a black car

Four by four
And he would burn me like nobody's ever done before
To my core
I wanna stay but gotta go
This place is going up in smoke
Don't matter if you're here or you're gone
Cause I can't drive down all those back roads slow after midnight
Can't go to the bar just to be left alone
Can't go to the bar just to be left alone
Can't go to the church on Sunday morning
Cause all I see is wildfire and brimstone
Might as well board it all up
Might as well shut it all down
God knows it ain't what it was
You made a hell out of a hometown
Hell out of a hometown
Everything that we were
Was everywhere that I turned
You took heaven on earth
Left it ashes and dirt
Now I can't drive down all those back roads slow after midnight
Can't go to the bar just to be left alone
Can't go to the church on Sunday morning
Cause all I see is wildfire and brimstone
Might as well board it all up
Might as well shut it all down
God knows it ain't what it was
You made a hell out of a hometown
