Your daddy and them been putting up hay
That creek bank oak still putting off shade
Dawgs made it all the way to state but lost in overtime
And them good ol' boys still running them roads
Yeah, Uncle Joe retired when the mill closed
It's been hot, but the beer's cold at the VFW on a Friday night
And there ain't one day that you don't
Cross my mind like a southern breeze
And I'll be right here
Waiting on you to come back to me
And I hope you know you damn sure make us proud
Love, your hometown
We all hated to watch you leave
But we knew you were cut out for army fatigues
'Cause you've always fought for what you believe
That's why you're over there right now
If it ever gets tough lacing up your boots
Just keep this letter here close to you
And know there's prayers going through the roof
Of every little house in this town
And there ain't one day that you don't
Cross my mind like a southern breeze
And I'll be right here
Waiting on you to come back to me
And I hope you know you damn sure make us proud
Love, your hometown
When your wheels touch down back here safe
And you're in the clear
Buddy, I'll shut down all my streets
And everybody's gonna raise a beer
There ain't one day that you don't
Cross my mind like a southern breeze
And I'll be right here
Waiting on you to come back to me
And I hope you know you damn sure make us proud
I hope you know you damn sure make us proud
Love, your hometown
Your hometown
Love, your hometown
