The following are lyrics to Thank God for Hometowns. The song was written by Luke Laird, Ashley Gorley, and Hillary Lindsey.
Yesterday I got a call
Someone I didn't know at all
Had passed away
Mama said, yeah you know him
You went to school with both his kids
They lived out on Prescott Lane
She said, you should've seen the line
Mrs. Johnson said to tell you hi
Thank God for hometowns
And all the love that makes 'em go 'round
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dyin' to get out
Thank God for church pews
And all the faces that won't forget you
'Cause when you're lost out in this crazy world
You got somwhere to go, and get found
Thank God for hometowns
Yeah
Last June my cousin tied the knot
Didn't know if I'd go or not
But, I'm sure glad I did
It was a pretty good haul but worth the drive
I could feel myself come back to life
The closer that I'd get
First red light, I rolled the windows down
Breathed it in and took a look around
Thank God for hometowns
First kisses and touchdowns
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dyin' to get out
Thank God for church pews
And all the faces that won't forget you
'Cause when you're lost out in this crazy world
You got somwhere to go, and get found
Thank God for hometowns
I always find another piece of me
Walkin' down these old familiar streets
Thank God for hometowns
And all the love that makes 'em go 'round
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dyin' to get out
Thank God for church pews
And all the faces that won't forget you
'Cause when you're lost out in this crazy world
You got somwhere to go, and get found
Thank God for hometowns
