Standard (EADGBE)

Well I had a buddy back in 81

 And we made ourselves a pact

We were headin for the new pipeline

 And we were never coming backss

We worked 80 hours making time and a half -i

 But La Grange was too damn hot

So we drove back home home at the end of that week

 And we spent it all on pot

So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way

 I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay

 If your ever out west son and your feeling like slowin' down

 I'll see you around round my hometown

Well I played ball every single fall

 I could run just like the wind

I went to college like they asked me too

 But they didn't ask my friends

Don't think I've 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

So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way

 I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay

 If your ever out west son and your feeling like slowin' down

 I'll see you around round my hometown

Solo

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 leavin' 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 won't have long to stay

 If you're ever out west son and you're feelin' like slowin' down

 I'll see you around round my hometown

 I'll see you around round my hometown
