Well, i had a buddy back in '81,
And we made ourselves a pact
We were headin' for the new pipeline,
We were never comin' back
Well we worked 80 hours making time and a half,
But La Grange was too damn hot
We drove back home at the end of that week
And we spent it all on pot

Chorus:
So I'll see you in Houston,
If I ever get out that way,
I'll see you in dallas,
But I wont have long to stay,
If ur ever out west son,
And ur feeling like slowing down,
I'll see you around,
Around my hometown

Well, I played ball every single fall,
I could run just like the wind
Went to college like they asked me too
But they didn't ask my friends
Don't think I seen a single classroom,
But I drank a lot of beer
My buddies still love to listen to me when I talk about that year

Chorus:

Now I got myself a little band,
And we're pretty good I guess
But I never learned how to wear my hair,
And I never learned how to dress
So I'm leaving for the last time honey,
I'm never more to roam
Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time gonna head my ass back home

So I'll see you in Nashville,
If I ever get out that way
I'll see you in Austin,
But I wont have long to stay,
If ur ever out west son,
And ur feeling like slowin down
I'll see you around,
Around my hometown
I'll see you around,
Around my hometown
