It ain't the city lights begging my heart to leaveThis ain't a guitar in the backseat chasing dreams kind of thingI still love the same old same, everybody knows your nameFootball game Friday nightBut I can't drive down all those back roads slow after midnightCan't go to the bar just to be left aloneCan't go to the church to prayCan't go to the church on Sunday morningCause all I see is wildfire and brimstoneMight as well board it all upMight as well shut it all downGod knows it ain't what it wasYou made a hell out of a hometownWho knew the devil drove a black FordFor a black carFour by fourAnd he would burn me like nobody's ever done beforeTo my coreI wanna stay but gotta goThis place is going up in smokeDon't matter if you're here or you're goneCause I can't drive down all those back roads slow after midnightCan't go to the bar just to be left aloneCan't go to the bar just to be left aloneCan't go to the church on Sunday morningCause all I see is wildfire and brimstoneMight as well board it all upMight as well shut it all downGod knows it ain't what it wasYou made a hell out of a hometownHell out of a hometownEverything that we wereWas everywhere that I turnedYou took heaven on earthLeft it ashes and dirtNow I can't drive down all those back roads slow after midnightCan't go to the bar just to be left aloneCan't go to the church on Sunday morningCause all I see is wildfire and brimstoneMight as well board it all upMight as well shut it all downGod knows it ain't what it wasYou made a hell out of a hometown
