I'll see you around, 'round my hometown 
 
Well, I played ball every single fall, I could run like the wind 
I went to college like they asked me too, but they didn't ask my friends 
I don't remember a single classroom but I drank alot of beer 
My buddies still love to listen to me when I talk about that year 
 
Chorus 
 
Break (play verse) 
 
Now  I got myself a little band and we're pretty good I guess 
But I never learned how to wear my hair and I never learned how to dress 
So I'm leavin' for the last time honey, I'm no more to roam 
Gunna pack my bags a little heavy this time, gunna head my ass back home 
 
Alt. Chorus: 
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 west son, and you're feelin' like slowin' down 
I'll see you around, 'round my hometown 
I'll see you around, 'round my hometown
