When I turn on the news When I drive by a church When I flip through a country station When I see cool kids in a parkin' lot Livin' up to their reputation When I'm three drinks in And some guy's hittin' on a blonde three stools down When the talk gets cheap I cannot think about the girls in my hometown Are they gettin' married? Are they gettin' jaded? When they think seventeen Do they think of me and wonder if I made it? Are they really happy? Are they makin' Daddy proud? What makes 'em cry? What gets 'em high? I think about the girls in my hometown When I see a denim jacket When I hear a kid say a dirty word When my faith's runnin' low And me and God ain't on the best of terms When I'm out with someone and we lose our buzz And the conversation dies out I go home by myself SongtexteAnd I cannot think about the girls in my hometown Are they gettin' married? Are they gettin' jaded? When they think seventeen Do they think of me and wonder if I made it? Are they really happy? Are they makin' Daddy proud? What makes 'em cry? What gets 'em high? I think about the girls in my hometown When I hear the song "Strawberrry Wine" I think about all of the fences, all painted white I think about falling in love, the meaning of life I think about the girls in my hometown Are they gettin' married? Are they gettin' jaded? Am I bright in their mind like it's summertime Or just a little faded? Are they really happy? Are they makin' Daddy proud? In the back of my mind, did they get it right? I think about the girls in my hometown What makes 'em cry? What gets 'em high? I think about the girls in my hometown Mmm Aus Songtexte Mania
