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
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 you are ever out west, son
And you are 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
I went to college like they asked me too
But they didn't ask my friends
I 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
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 you are ever out west, son
And you are feeling like slowing down
I'll see you around
Around my hometown
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 won't have long to stay
If you are ever out west, son
And you are feeling like slowin' down
I'll see you around
Around my hometown
I'll see you around
Around my hometown
