Lyrics Girls In My Hometown – Danielle Bradbery
When I turn on the news
When I drive by a church
When I flip through a country station
When I see cool kids in a parking lot
Living up to their reputation
When I’m three drinks in
And some guy’s hitting on a blonde three stools down
When the talk gets cheap
I cannot think about the girls in my hometown
Are they getting married
Are they getting jaded
When they think seventeen
Do they think of me and wonder if I made it
Are they really happy
Are they makin’ daddy proud
What makes ’em cry, what gets ’em high
I think about the girls in my hometown
When I see a denim jacket
When I hear a kid say a dirty word
When my faith’s running low
And me and God ain’t on the best of terms
When I’m out with someone and we lose our buzz
And the conversation dies out
I go home by myself
And I cannot think about the girls in my hometown
Are they getting married
Are they getting jaded
When they think seventeen
Do they think of me and wonder if I made it
Are they really happy
Are they makin’ daddy proud
What makes ’em сry, what gets ’em high
I think about the girls in my hometown
When I hear the song, Strawberry Wine
I think about all of the fences, all painted white
I think about falling in love, the meaning of life
I think about the girls in my hometown
Are they getting married
Are they getting jaded
Am I bright in their mind like it’s summertime
Or just a little faded
Are they really happy
Are they makin’ daddy proud
In the back of my mind, did they get it right
I think about the girls in my hometown
What makes ’em cry, what gets ’em high
I think about the girls in my hometown…
