I grew up in the county
Boutta mile of town
Felt like everybody knew me
And they all stuck around
My love said I'm a keeper
But I had to leave that place
So, I rode off on the river
Let it carry me away
'Cause I heard there's so much more out there
I've seen New York city lights
Long Beach, California nights/skies
Don't think there's anywhere in the world
Like my little hometown
I've felt the high of a sold-out show
I heard my song on the radio
Nothing ever hit like her
My little hometown girl
A thousand miles from nowhere mm
I've been 'round the world just searching
Looking for my place
Just a boy from Illinois
Feel like an alien from space
Said I'd be back home by summer
Just a short blink of an eye
But I've spent the last 2 winters
Dreaming of downstate July
