Well I had a buddy back in 81 And we made ourselves a pact We were headin for the new pipeline And we were never coming back We worked 80 hours making time and a half But La Grange was too damn hot So we drove back home home at the end of that week And we spent it all on pot So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay If your ever out west son and your feeling like slowin' down I'll see you around round my hometown Well I played ball every single fall I could run just like the wind I went to college like they asked me too But they didn't ask my friends Don't think I've seen a single classroom But I drank a lot of beer My buddies still love to listen to me When I talk about that year So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay If your ever out west son and your feeling like slowin' down I'll see you around round my hometown SOLO 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 never more to roam Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time Gonna head my ass back home 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 From Charlie Robison "Life Of The Party" Lucky Dog Records 1998 Warner Tamerlane Publishing(BMI)
