[Verse]
Give me a chance if you're tired of taking chances
Changing two lanes for a four-lane advancement
Nowadays I'm hanging my hat
On the Capitol Building, better than a paycheck
[Pre-Chorus]
And when I see you it's like
Night and day
After all
I've earned my keep
I've made my bed and I ain't leaving
[Chorus]
Don't make me go back to my hometown
Don't make me go back to my hometown
[Verse]
Give me a shake if you're tired of shaking hands
Give me a break, I'm just trying to understand
Lighting the way, lay of the land
Thinking about you, don't need to fight you
[Pre-Chorus]
But when I need you it's like
Night and day
After all
I've earned my keep
I've made my bed and I ain't leaving
[Chorus]
Don't make me go back to my hometown
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
Don't make me go back to my hometown
[Outro]
Don't make me go
Don't make me go
Don't make me go back to my hometown
Don't, don't
Don't make me go back to my hometown
