Well I had a buddy back in eighty one
We made ourselves a pact
We were headed for the new pipeline
And we were never coming back
Well we worked eighty hours making time in a half
But the grains was too damn hot
We drove back home at the end of that week
And we spent it all on shots
So I'll see you in houston
If I ever get out that way
I'll see you in dallas
But I won't have long to stay
If you're ever out west son
And you're feeling like slowing down
I'll see you around
Round my hometown
Well I played ball every single fall
I could run just like the wind
I went to college like they asked me to
But they didn't ask my friends
I don't think I seen a single classroom
But I drank a lot of beer
But he still loved to listen to me
When I talk about that year
So I'll see you in houston
If I ever get out that way
I'll see you in dallas
But I won't have long to stay
If you're ever out west son
And you're feeling like slowing down
I'll see you around
Round my hometown
Now I got myself a little band
And we're pretty good I guess
But I I never learned how to wear my hair
And I never learned how to dress
So I'm leaving for the last time
Honey I'm never more
To roam
Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time
Gonna hit myself back home
So I'll see you in nashville
If I ever get out that way
I'll see you in austin
But I won't have long to stay
If you're ever out with some
And you're feeling like slowing down
I'll see you around around my hometown
I'll see you around around my hometown
