I run the path on the canal Every time I come back home The auburn leaves from all the trees Make the water seem to glow
We were just kids up on Cobb’s hill The first time you kissed me It was then and there that my love affair with our town became a thing
Chorus: I remember the buzz of that homecoming crowd Nights together on that old playground Under the bridge where everything went down Yeah – I have a crush on my hometown It’s where I wore my cap n gown With familiar faces all around So many secrets to be found Yeah I have a crush on my hometown
We skinny dipped when we were bold And daylight turned to dark We survived the bobcat coaster At that rundown amusement park Saw our first great concert there Outside under the stars Then played those songs all night long At home in my backyard
Chorus
Bridge: In spring the lilacs always bloom Dad used to bring them home for mom When I close my eyes, I go back in time To the place my heart belongs
Chorus Outro: Hometown Hometown Yeah I have a crush on my This flame I’m holdin won’t go out Yeah I have a crush on my hometown My hometown Ooooooh, My hometown I have a crush on my hometown
