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