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

BLAME

By David Snyder

V1

To put the blame
you need a man who runs for cover
To put the blame
you need to open up the border
To put the blame
you need a man who sniffs the finger
to put the blame
you need a man whose son’s a hunter

CH

We got prisons for you, prisons for me
prisons for children, bullies for free

V2

To put the blame
you need a man who
takes us under
To put the blame
you must destroy the social order
to put the blame
You must pit one against the other
To put the blame
You must pillage, rape and plunder

CH

But it's justified, so tell those lies
for your side
til we're all anesthetized
spread ‘em wide

CH

Fan the flame, rig the game
hand out names
make sure you get an ice cream cone

fan the flame, rig the game
hand out names
make sure you get an ice cream cone

tax the air
sniff some hair, build despair
make sure you get an ice cream cone
make sure you get an ice cream cone
it’s just a game

(v1)
Burned by love some time ago
It’s hard to let my feelings show
Scars remain from that hurting time
My heart’s afraid to cross the line
But somehow you’ve broken through
Fixed my heart as good as new
But there’s still one thing you need to know

CHORUS
If I fall in love with you and offer you my heart
I hope you always, always will remember
It’s more than just I love you
It’s everything I am, it’s complete surrender

(v2)
A simple lesson I have learned
A partial love gets no return
Give you’re all where love’s concerned
Any less is a heartache earned
Half a love can’t be redeemed
There can be no in between
If I fall in love it’s everything

Complete Surrender
