half of my hometown lyrics

[Verse 1: Kelsea Ballerini]

Half of my high school got too drunk

Half of my high school fell in love with the girl next door

In their daddy's Ford

And half of my main street's mini skirts

Half of my main street's dressed for church

It could use some rain and a fresh coat of paint

[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini & Kenny Chesney]

Half of my hometown's still hangin' around

Still talkin' about that one touchdown

They're still wearin' red and black

"Go Bobcats" while the other half

Of my hometown, they all got out

Some went north, some went south

They're still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found

So stay or leave, part of me will always be

Half of my hometown

[Verse 2: Kelsea Ballerini, with Kenny Chesney]

Half of our prom queens cut their hair

Half of them think that it ain't fair

The quarterback moved away and never came back

Half of my family is happy I left

The other half worries I'll just forget

Where I came from

Same place where they came from

[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini & Kenny Chesney]

Half of my hometown's still hangin' around

Still talkin' about that one touchdown

They're still wearin' red and black

"Go Bobcats" while the other half

Of my hometown, they all got out

Some went north, some went south

They're still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found

So stay or leave, part of me will always be

Half of my hometown

[Post-Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini, with Kenny Chesney]

Mmm, half of my hometown (Oh)

[Bridge: Kelsea Ballerini, with Kenny Chesney]

Backroads raise us

Highways, they take us

Memories make us wanna go back

[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini, with Kenny Chesney]

To our hometown, settle down

Talk about that one touchdown

Raise some kids in red and black

"Go Bobcats" while the other half

Of our hometown was in the crowd

They knew the words, they sang them loud

And all I wanna do is make them proud

'Cause half of me will always be Knoxville, Tennessee

My hometown

[Outro: Kelsea Ballerini & Kenny Chesney]

Oh

My hometown

My hometown
