The sun was comin' up I couldn't settle down
I took my time and just drove around
I hit all back roads in my hometown
I got a little happy, I got a little sad
I couldn't decide if it was good or bad
My little hometown had begun to grow
(Chorus)
Our trails are gone but they found their place
I think there showin' in my face with
With each new line I find around my eyes
They can cut the trees, cut the bush
But we can always say that it was us
We were the ones who broke the ground in our little hometown
I drove by Charlie Griffins place
His trailers gone but I have to say
That new brick house is very nice
There's a big house out in the field
Where I used to pick briars from my heels
And our old trails are runnin' through their yard
(Chorus)
If you look real hard and listen close you can hear me laughin' and see my ghost
Runnin' through the trails of my hometown / my little hometown / my little hometown
(Chorus)
