Eric Willson - Have You Heard About The Old Hometown lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember, oh so well A little mom and pops and motel Sunday mornings they used to sell Breakfast at half price On that corner was a church of god That there was an old car wash Now they're just empty parking lots Where you best not go at night [Verse 2] Started twenty years ago Well, the times got tight And the wheels turned slow Started letting all the workers go Said they couldn't keep the lights on Things got bad and then got worse You know it's hard to earn a dollar When there ain't no work People got hungry and my people hurt Back where I call home [Chorus] And they said you heard about the old hometown? Have you heard about the old hometown? Closing the doors and shutting them down Have you heard about the old hometown? [Verse 3] My family went to work in the field Made their liquor from a moonshine steel Ate whatever they could k** Yeah, somehow they carried on People like me just moved away And said I'll make my way back someday But my folks they all still say Boy you best stay gone, stay gone [Chorus] And they said you heard about the old hometown? Have you heard about the old hometown? Closing the doors and shutting them down Have you heard about the old hometown? [Chorus 2] Living on faith and love, living on faith and love Scratching by, no they won't give up Living on faith and love Yeah, you wouldn't believe it if you saw it now And have you heard about the old hometown? [Bridge] I remember, oh so well A little mom and pops and motel Sunday mornings they used to sell Breakfast at half price [Outro] Yeah, you wouldn't believe it if you saw it now Have you heard about the old hometown? Have you heard about the old hometown? Have you heard about the old hometown?
