Charlie Robinson: My Hometown

Mandolin/Drum intro

G                                     C  
Well I had a buddy back in 81 
              G 
And we made ourselves a pact
G                                     C            
We were headin for the new pipeline 
             D
And we were never coming back
      G                                  C              
We worked 80 hours making time and a half 
            G
But La Grange was too damn hot
G                                                       C                
So we drove back home home at the end of that week 
       D                        G
And we spent it all on pot
G                                      C
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way 
                     G                D
I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay 
                         G                           C
If your ever out west son and your feeling like  slowin' down 
                     G                 D           G       C   G   D   G
I'll see you around round my hometown
G                         C
Well I played ball every single fall
             G
I could run just like the wind
G                                    C
I went to college like they asked me too
         D                      
But they didn't ask my friends
G                                C
Don't think I've seen a single classroom 
      G
But I drank a lot of beer
G                                 C            
My buddies still love to listen to me 
           D                      G
When I talk about that year
                          G                               C
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way 
                        G            D
I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay 
                         G                          C
If your ever out west son and your feeling like  slowin' down 
                  G            D                 G       C   G   D   G
I'll see you around round my hometown

SOLO

G                             C               G
Now I got myself a little band and we're pretty good I guess
G                                    C          
But I never learned how to wear my hair 
      D
And I never learned how to dress
G                              C
So I'm leavin' for the last time honey 
G
I'm never more to roam
G                                      C
Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time 
            D                G
Gonna head my ass back home
                           G                 C
So I'll see you in Nashville if I ever get out that way
                     G                D
I'll see you in Austin but I won't have long to stay
                            G                            C
If you're ever out west son and you're feelin' like slowin' down
                  G                   D        G  C
I'll see you around round my hometown
                   G            D                G
I'll see you around round my hometown
