Girl, our mamas are best friends and so are we

The whole town's rooting for us like the home team

Most likely to settle down

Plant a few roots real deep and let 'em grow

But we can't stop this real world from spinnin' us

Your bright lights called, I don't blame you for pickin' up

Your big dream bags are all packed up and ready to go

But I just need you to know

That I love you more than a California sunset

More than a beer when you ain't twenty-one yet

More than a Sunday morning Lord

Turnin' some poor lost souls 'round, Hallelujah bound

Yeah, I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits a hook

When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book

But, baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down

'Cause I can't love you more than my hometown

I ain't the runaway kind, I can't change that

My heart's stuck in these streets like the train tracks

City sky ain't the same black

Ain't that a map dot shame, man, to think that

I love you more than a California sunset

More than a beer when you ain't twenty-one yet

More than a Sunday morning Lord

Turnin' some poor lost souls around, Hallelujah bound

Yeah, I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits a hook

When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book

But, baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down

'Cause I can't love you more than my hometown

Yeah, you got a wild in your eyes that I just wasn't born with

I'm a same gas station cup of coffee in the mornin'

I need the house on the hill, girl, not in 'em

So hang onto these words 'til them avenues help you forget 'em

'Cause I love you more than a California sunset

I love you more in a twenty-dollar sundress

Hate that loaded down car you got your keys in

Girl, but I hate even more that you're leavin'

'Cause I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits a hook

When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book

But that ain't you and me so I guess I'll see you around

'Cause I can't love you more than my hometown

Love you more than my hometown

Love you more than my hometown

Love you more, baby, love you more
