Blues Rock Solo Artist
I am a solo artist at present.
Story behind the song
Kenny Chesney was looking for another tune so Jeff and I wrote one, hoping he would cut it. Didn't happen so it is available for recording by any platinum/gold/lead artist that would like it. Prefer the money making kind of artist....
Lyrics
Hometown Boy ©2003
Jeff Pearson/Brian Futch
You can blink your eye and drive right by the little town where I grew up,
Where Main Street is a country road and the mayor drives a pickup truck,
The flag flies high every Fourth of July and the farmers still pray for rain,
The fish stories flow at Joe’s Git N Go, yeah, some things never change,
Like me,
I’m a hometown boy, that’s who I’ll always be,
Still love canepole fishin’, God and family,
Well, I may be reaching for the stars, but my country roots run deep,
I’m a hometown boy, that’s who I’ll always be,
There’s guitar pickin’ and southern fried chicken on Sundays after church,
We dress up and the stores close down on the one day we don’t work,
I’m still embraced by every smiling face as they stop to hug my neck,
No matter how long I’ve been gone feels like I never left,
That’s why,
Chorus
In this little town you learn to love your neighbor as yourself,
I know they’d all come running if I ever needed help,
That’s why,
Chorus
Tag: You can blink your eye and drive right by the little town where I grew up.
