    Lyrics for Give Me Back My Hometown:
    “Give Me Back My Hometown”
    Written by Eric Church and Luke Laird.
    Damn, I used to love this view
    Sit here and drink a few
    Main street and the high school lit up on Friday night
    Down there it’s another touchdown
    Man, this year’s team is stout
    I can hear them goin’ crazy
    And up here so am I
    Thinkin’ about you sittin’ there sayin’ I hate this, I hate it
    If you couldn’t stand livin’ here why’d you take it, take it
    Give me back my hometown
    ‘Cause this is my hometown
    All the colors of my youth
    The red, the green, the hope, the truth
    Are beatin’ me black and blue cause you’re in every scene
    My friends try to cheer me up get together at the Pizza Hut
    I didn’t have the heart to tell them that was our place
    These sleepy streetlights on every sidewalk side street
    Shed a light on everything that used to be
    Give me back my hometown
    ‘Cause this is my hometown
    Yeah, yeah, ooohh, yeah, yeah
    You can have my grandma’s locket
    The knife out of my grandpa’s pocket
    Yeah my state champion jacket
    I don’t care you can have it
    Every made memory
    Every picture, every broken dream
    Yeah everything, everything, everything
    Give me back my hometown
    ‘Cause this is my hometown
    Yeah, yeah, ooohh, yeah, yeah
    Music video by Eric Church performing Give Me Back My Hometown. (C) 2013 EMI Records Nashville

    What makes Eric so great is his diveristy. As an artist you have to constantly be evolving, and I feel this is what he is trying to accomplish. Yes, Sinners like me album was amazing, and carolina and chief are amazing too., but non of them have the same sound. You can't put out the same album twice, or you're dying. I think Church knows this so bring on the new tunes!! the church choir will be standing behind you.
