So Herb Hartley came to me with a song title and a verse and asked if I could come up with a chorus. smile

When we finished the song I asked if I could bring in a friend named Jeff Newton to sing vocals and Jeff kindly agreed—so I created a Soundcloud channel for him. After hearing what Jeff did with this, we have decided to write more songs Jeff can sing.

MY HOME TOWN

Performed by Jeff Newton

V1

Nothing ever seems to change
every day is just the same
they roll the sidewalks up, when the sun goes down
Barber shop and a liquor store
my best friend lives right next door
Ain't nothing but a one lane crossroads town

Pre CH

It's my home town....and I plan to stay around

CH

We got girls with smiles that will break your heart
Secret kisses after dark
People who spent their lives on solid ground
We've got steeples that reach towards the sky
Hearts that never learned to lie
Friends that will never ever leave your side
And it's only two miles wide
But it's my home town

V2

It's where I'm from, where I was raised
those red dirt roads through the summer haze
We have fields of green and clear blue skies
whippoorwill as the sun goes down
friends and family gather round
yeah grab the guitar
and lay it down

Pre-CH

It's my home town
and I plan to stay around

CH

We got girls with smiles that will break your heart
Secret kisses after dark
People who spent their lives on solid ground
We've got steeples that reach towards the sky
Hearts that never learned to lie
Friends that will never ever leave your side
And it's only two miles wide yeah it's my home town

Tag:

Friends that will never ever leave your side
And it's only two miles wide yeah
it's my home town
It's my home town
