Give Me Back My Hometown - Eric Church

I waited all night long Just to see your face But your didn't show Now I hate this place. Never had the luck To find a man so true AII I had was faith To meet a man like you. Give me back my love AII I want from you Is to give me back my love forever. I let it slip away There was nothing I could do Give me back my love again. People learn to write People learn to take. AII I learned in life. Somehow it's all fake. As a child I saw What was going on Tears were there each day But tears could make me strong. Give me back my love . . . I always wanted to know you as a friend Those little things that you told me In the end. Give me back my love

Bury me in my hometown Let the world close around my final days Finish out the race Where it started in a haze In the place that I was raised Lay me back down I flew around the country Been outside the USA They were right when they would say No place like home But I kept on testing limits Where I'd bend and where I'd break All the friends that I would make Then leave behind The only place I want to be at closing time Bury me in my hometown Let the world close around my final days Finish out the race Where it started in a haze In the place that I was raised Lay me back down Let me watch my final sunset In the land that I love most Holding all my loved ones close I'll walk on through So bury me in my hometown Let the world close around my final days

Many, many years ago on a distant shore Men did gather secretly beyond a hidden door They travelled long and travelled far Dark into the night Yes, this is the place they've chosen To build the Metal site. Congregation rises, starts to chant a hymn Of evil, lust and hatred, the roots of every sin The priest he stands before them, tells them why they are this way Why they worship metal gods each and every day By the hand of Oberon, dark into the deep Love the evil things we do, the secrets that we keep Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right Metal church will find you, can't run very far Metal church inside you, knows just who you are No use in speaking out against anything we do While the men of earth they sleep, haven't any clue Now the story starts again, all the time is lost Metal Church begins anew Saving souls that are lost. Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right Metal church will find you, can't run very far Metal church inside you, knows just who you are The metal church
