Intro: G--------C--------G--------C---------
G C
Well, I had a buddy back in '81 and we made ourselves a pact
G D
We were headin' for the new pipeline and we wern't never coming back
G C
We worked 80 hours makeing time and a half but La Grange was too damn hot
G D G
So we drove back home here at the end of the week and we spent it all on pot
Chorus:
G C
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way
G D
I'll see you in Dallas, but I won't have long to stay
G C
If you're ever out west son, and you're feelin' like slowin' down
G D G
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
